Two West Virginia EMTs were killed Saturday in a two-vehicle crash as they were headed back to their station.
Brittany Young, 23, and Douglas Ronald Dick II, 35—both EMTs for the Jan-Care Ambulance — had completed a hospital-to-hospital transfer in Morgantown before the accident happened, which was about 7:50 a.m., in Nicholas County, WTRF-TV reports. The EMTs were going back to work following two days off.
The crash involved the EMTs' ambulance and a tractor-trailer. A Jan-Care spokesman told WVNS that Young and Dick were the only ones in the ambulance, and they were pronounced dead at the scene.
"This morning, we suffered the tragic loss of two of our team members in an auto accident in Nicholas County," the ambulance company said in an online post. "Please keep our company, it’s team members, and the families of Brittany and Doug in your requests to God for comfort, peace and understanding."
