Monroe EMS fly car

[stephen morea 1]

Someone told me that Monroe EMS got rid of there fly car. Is this true and if so are they replacing it with another vehicle, or just going to run the 3 rigs and the S+R vehicle.

As told to me by a Village of Monroe Police Officer who was on scene.............................One of the Monroe EMS Line Officers was enroute in

(unit# 414-F) the fly car to a confirmed cardiac call when he struck a patch of "Black Ice" causing the vehicle to go out of control and rollover. The Police Officer told me that the vehicle had sustained a lot of damage from the rollover that it would probably be considered "totalled" by the Monroe EMS insurance carrier.

I do not know the level of coverage that Monroe EMS has for their vehicles, but I would guess to say that they have coverage for full replacement of a totalled vehicle. However, I have not spoken to anyone of Monroe EMS to confirm or deny if they are going to replace the Fly Car with another one.

If you speak with one of their officers or members of their Board, they may be able to provide further insight on the status of the current vehicle and the possibilty of a replacement vehicle.

The main thing here is that the Line Officer who was operating the vehicle did not suffer any serious injuries. He was taken to Arden Hill Hospital by Mobile Life Support Services and after a brief exam, was discharged. As with any injury, you always "feel it in the morning" or are "hurting the next day".

Good to know that the officer was not seriously injured.
