A woman being transported in an ambulance died after the Orangeburg County emergency vehicle overturned Monday night, report news sources.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the 2009 Chevrolet ambulance was traveling southbound on U.S. 301 when the emergency vehicle first veered off the right side of the road then traveled back across the roadway and exited the left side of the roadway and overturned near Homestead Road.
The 79-year-old Vance woman being transported in the ambulance died. The driver of the emergency vehicle, who was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, and another passenger were taken to an area medical center with unspecified, non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash remains under investigation
As an Orangeburg auto accident attorney, I have witnessed first-hand the shock and grief of those left behind after an unexpected death. My heartfelt condolences go out to the woman’s family, friends and loved ones. I hope that they are getting all of the help and support they need during this challenging time. Being an Orangeburg workers compensation lawyer, I am well aware of the types of injuries that can be suffered in a rollover crash. I wish the the other occupants of the ambulance a rapid recovery from their injuries.
