Medic Dead, One hurt in Indianapolis Crash

[Just Plain Ruff]

From the Indy newspaper today:

INDIANAPOLIS - Prosecutors will not file criminal charges against the driver in the ambulance crash that killed two Indianapolis EMTs.

Cody Medley, 22, of Indianapolis, and Tim McCormick, 24, of Greenwood, were fatally injured in the Feb. 16 crash at St. Clair Street and Senate Avenue involving their ambulance and another vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle, Jade Hammer, 21, survived the crash.

So it seems like the district attorney places no value on the lives of two EMS employees killed as a result of the actions of a young driver with alcohol on board that ran a red light and hit their ambulance broadside.

SHAME ON YOU !

now if the ambulance had hit the car and the other driver was killed , then charges would be filed and heads would roll. Talk about a double standard!

There is a recall the prosecuting attorney facebook page out there. I'll try to post the info soon.

I read her blood alcohol level was below the legal limit, so then how can they charge her if she was not committing a crime?

Being legally drunk does not matter here. The driver caused the vehicular deaths of two people though negligence in operating a motor vehicle.

In Maine that would probably bring vehicular homicide charges at a minimum.

She killed two young providers.

Reading this all these weeks later and all I can say is, may they rest in peace. What a waste of life.
