LEON COUNTY, Fla. — An ambulance driver was suspended without pay for his role in a Sept. 5 collision with another vehicle and the family of a critically injured woman intends to file a lawsuit against Leon County Emergency Medical Services.
A Leon County EMS ambulance driven by Paramedic Benjamin K. Hunter rushed to a head-on collision at West Tharpe Street and Old Bainbridge Road with lights and sirens going and smashed into a Buick sport utility vehicle at the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard intersection.
Front-seat passenger Angela Sanford suffered collapsed lungs, a broken pelvis, liver damage and a ruptured bladder as a result of the crash, according to Leon County Sheriff’s Office reports. Back seat passenger Daniel McNair broke two bones in his left hand. Driver Patrick Sanford told deputies at the scene he only had scrapes and bruises but later reported undergoing surgery to mend a back injury.
