KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Emergency personnel are trained to save lives - and they will do whatever it takes to make that happen. On Wednesday, a Rural/Metro paramedic demonstrated that after he was involved in a Loudon County collision with a minivan.
“It’s just instinct. When it’s time to react and take care of people in need, that’s what they do and what they know,” said Erin Downey, Rural/Metro regional director.
The Tennessee State Highway Patrol said Jessica Creek was driving a minivan which was carrying her five children when she crossed the highway’s center line, hitting the Rural/Metro Ambulance.
