Louisville, Ky. EMS Worker Injured in Crash While Responding to Another Accident with Tractor Trailer
According to the Louisville Courier Journal, a Louisville Emergency Medical Services (EMS) worker was injured early today while working at the scene of an accident in downtown Louisville.
The accident, which involved a car and a tractor-trailer truck, was reported at 3:24 a.m. and was one of two that occurred as a strong storm system swept into Louisville.
The name and extent of injuries to the EMS worker, who was clipped by a passing car, were not available. She was transported to University Hospital, the supervisor said.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones personal injury attorney Larry Jones says, "It is extremely important to slow down and yield (or even stop when necessary) the right of way to emergency vehicles. Our first responders are underpaid heroes. The least we can do is be especially careful with the lives of those who endeavor to protect us on a day-to-day basis."
