         No Comments

All,

A patient inside an ambulance was killed early Tuesday (00030 hours) after a suspected drunken driver crashed into them on the way to UH Geauga Medical Center. Both paramedics inside the South Central Ambulance were also seriously injured. The 25-year-old paramedic in the back of the ambulance was life-flighted to University Hospitals Main Campus with multiple bone fractures. The driver of the ambulance was transported to UH Geauga for treatment.
The driver of a Jeep failed to stop at a stop sign. The impact of the crash caused the Jeep to catch on fire and the ambulance to go off the side of the road and roll several times. The patient was pronounced dead at the scene from his injuries. The jeep driver suffered minor injuries and is charged with one count of aggravated vehicular homicide, two counts of aggravated vehicular assault, DUI, and running a stop sign. KTIYP’s
CONDOLENCES TO THE WILMINGTON (DELAWARE) FIRE DEPARTMENT

The 3-year-old son of a Wilmington Firefighter was struck and killed in Delaware over the weekend shortly before a memorial walk was to begin to honor three firefighters killed in a triple LODD fire seven years ago.  A group of off-duty Wilmington firefighters, family members and friends were gathering just before 1000 hours Sunday for the walk to honor 3 city Firefighters killed in the line of duty at a structure fire on the same day in 2016. Lt. Christopher Leach, Senior Firefighter Jerry Fickes, and Senior Firefighter Ardythe Hope all lost their lives as a result of that arson fire.

The child, the son of an off-duty Firefighter, was struck by a vehicle driven by another off-duty Firefighter trying to park to take part in the memorial event. The boy was taken to Wilmington Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name and the name of the driver were not immediately released. Our condolences and thoughts go out to all those affected. Rest In Peace.

Take Care. Be Careful. Pass it On.
