Ambulance blamed in fatal collision

 

OIL SPRINGS — An ambulance was at fault in a fiery collision with a coal truck that killed four people Sept. 14, a state police investigator said yesterday.

Trooper Scott Hazelette of the Pikeville post said the G&B Ambulance Service vehicle crossed into the eastbound land of U.S. 460 in Johnson County and hit the tractor-trailer head-on. He said it was unclear whether driver error or a mechanical problem caused the ambulance to veer out of its lane in the slight curve. The truck driver, two emergency medical technicians and the ambulance patient, Margaret Bailey of Salyersville, were killed.
