State police investigators are waiting for autopsy results on an ambulance driver killed Buckingham County.
Timothy Southern, 21, was driving a Priority Patient Transport ambulance Friday when police say he crossed the center line and smashed into a cement truck. Southern died along with Howard Watson, the patient being transported.
All ambulance drivers are required to go through state-certified training before getting behind the wheel.
Michael Berg of the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services said, “That information becomes public information and we can utilize that information for training purposes and education to better build upon the events that occurred to educate individuals so this type of event may not occur again.”
Both victims are being laid to rest Monday. A state police spokesperson says the autopsy report may take a few weeks.
