Baltimore, Md. — The family of an elderly Baltimore woman who died shortly after being transported by two ambulance technicians have filed a lawsuit against the company.
78-year-old Annie Mae Simms, a double amputee, died last October while she being transported from a dialysis center to the elderly care facility where she lived. According to a police report obtained by Eyewitness News, ambulance technicians were moving Simms on a gurney that hit a bump and flipped over, tossing Simms onto the cement.
