FORT PIERCE — A paramedic seriously injured when an SUV slammed into the side of an ambulance in which he was a passenger has had to have his leg amputated.


Quote from the article:

Christopher Doyle said he has no recollection of the late Tuesday afternoon crash, which bashed in the passenger side of the ambulance, but he said he is glad to be alive. Doyle, who is an aspiring firefighter, had to have his left leg amputated below the knee. Witnesses said a Port St. Lucie woman was speeding before the crash that killed her and injured two others when she crashed into the ambulance at a Fort Pierce intersection. The crash happened shortly after 6 p.m. at Virginia Avenue and 25th Street, according to Fort Pierce police spokeswoman Audria Moore. An ambulance, driven by St. Lucie County Firefighter William Hines, was at the intersection of Virginia Avenue and 25th Street to make a left turn onto 25th Street, when a Nissan SUV, driven by Germaine Lindor, 63, of the 2600 block of NW Hatches Harbor Road, Port St. Lucie, entered the intersection and collided with the passenger side of the ambulance, according to Moore.
