A Prince George’s County (MD) EMS provider ran over a victim with the ambulance the crew had been assigned to save last month, resulting in injuries to the man’s “lower extremities,” according to a report by WUSA9.
It happened during an early morning snowstorm on January 7 in Forestville, Maryland. Both a Prince George’s County police and an internal Fire/EMS department investigation are underway.
Records obtained by the new station indicate the ambulance was called for a welfare check after a 911 call. The victim, who wasn’t identified, was lying in the middle of the snowy road.
The victim was taken to the hospital in life-threatening condition by another ambulance. Authorities say the EMS provider involved in the incident passed a drug test.
The victim is alive today and is in sub-acute rehabilitation.
