Fatal Ambulance wreck in Deleware


One person was killed and three Sussex County emergency medical workers were injured this morning in a crash between a sport-utility vehicle and a fire company ambulance near Angola, officials said.
The driver of a 1999 Jeep Cherokee was killed in the collision at Beaver Dam and Indian Mission roads. State police identified him as 44-year-old Michael A. Martin of Georgetown.

The Millsboro Fire Company ambulance was returning from Beebe Medical Center in Lewes when the crash occurred about 6:15 a.m. The 2002 Ford ambulance was westbound on Beaver Dam Road, stopped at the intersection of Indian Mission Road waiting to turn left, state police said.

Martin failed to negotiate a curve and left the east side of the road, striking the right rear side of the ambulance. He suffered massive head injuries and was declared dead at the scene, police said.
