Our friend MedicNorth was on the crew that responded to this mvc... Please pray for him and his team, and the friends and families of those in the crash. I do know the names of the deceased and the other medic, but as my sources are not official sources, I don't think I should name them.

Be safe everyone.

The unidentified paramedic -- who was driving the ambulance with a partner, patient and the patient's family member on board -- was killed on impact.

The ambulance's passengers suffered non-life threatening injuries.
