VILLA RICA, Ga. — A 25-year-old sanitation worker for Trash Pro Service, Terry Sisson, was making his early-morning rounds at 5 a.m. on Oct. 29 when he signalled for the car behind him to stop. As he waved a thank-you at the driver and stepped across the dividing line of Highway 113, an ambulance heading northbound accidentally struck Sisson, according to Georgia State Patrol Trooper Brent Williams.
The ambulance was on its way to pick up a transport patient in Villa Rica, but because there was no patient on board and it was not an emergency call, the siren was turned off.
“It was just one of those tragic accidents,” Director of Operations for West Georgia Ambulance Shane Bell said. “Nobody could have seen it coming.”
