The Secret List
 

The Secret List is an independent newsletter produced since 1998 by Chief Billy Goldfeder in an effort to bring forward the issues involving injury and death to us...often issues that are ignored, quickly forgotten or just not talked about.

TSL is e-mailed at no charge and produced as time allows. With the attitude that in order for us to survive the dangers of the job, they must learn how we have had "Close Calls" and even been injured or killed, TSL brings forward issues in an effort to enforce that philosophy-and get us to refocus on "what's important."

EMS Crash Leaves Medics Seriously Hurt in NY (The Secret List)

Saturday, May 18, 2013  Hey,

A Paramedic was seriously injured this morning when the ambulance he was driving collided head-on with a pickup on state Route 32 near Ulster, in New York State.


Another medic in the ambulance and the two people in the pickup also were hurt. There were no patients in the ambulance at the time and that the vehicle was not an emergency call.

The crash at 0655 on Route 32, involved a Mobile Life Support Services ambulance driven by Paramedic William Spadafora and caused extensive front-end damage to both vehicles. See photo on our home page.


PM Spadafora was flown by helicopter to Albany Medical Center with multiple serious injuries and the other Medic in the ambulance, Gigi Williams, was taken to Kingston Hospital with a head injury. Their conditions were not available as of this evening.


Andrew LaMarca, of Mobile Life, said Spadafora and Williams are boyfriend and girlfriend and were on duty at the time of the crash, moving the ambulance from one Mobile Life station to another. More details to follow. Keep'm in your prayers.

Take Care-Be Careful.
