BENNINGTON, Vt. — Emergency responders across the Northeast expressed sorrow Tuesday over the tragic death of a local EMT killed Monday afternoon when the ambulance he was driving struck a tree.
Dale R. Long, 48, was killed in the West Road crash that also sent a 60-year-old female patient he was transporting to Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center via helicopter with life-threatening injuries. A male paramedic riding in the back of the ambulance was treated locally and released, and a female paramedic trainee received treatment for serious, but non-life threatening injuries at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center.
Bennington Rescue Squad Executive Director Bill Hathaway said emergency responders across New England expressed sorrow Tuesday over Long’s death and offered their condolences to Bennington Rescue and Long’s family.
