Ambulance Struck by 17 year old DUI at 4PM

     

Thursday, May 13, 2010 I am a dispatcher (previous FF/EMT) who is now an incomplete quad from an off duty accident. I was picked up by our local EMS for some issues surrounding my spinal cord injury, while being transported to the hospital we were sideswiped by what is at this time a 17yom suspected DUI driver. Fortunately no one was injured altough it created quite the delay in my transport causing worsening of my condition.

LESSONS LEARNED:Drunk drivers are always around even at 17yo and 4pm. - Always buckle up and secure your patient correctly (thanks guys) - Even if you are the patient you still can't help put get scared to have a rig hit.
