Paramedic critical after ambulance collides with pickup

BLOOMINGTON – A Mobile Life paramedic is in critical condition after the ambulance he was driving collided head-on with a pickup truck on Route 32 on Saturday morning.

The paramedic, whose name has not been released yet, had to be extricated from the ambulance before being airlifted to Albany Medical Center with unknown injuries after the crash, which occurred before 7 a.m. in Bloomington.

An emergency medical technician riding with him was treated at Kingston Hospital and scheduled to be transported to Albany Medical for more treatment, said Andrew LaMarca, director of development for Mobile Life.

LOT of people with thoughts directed in Bill and Gigi's direction, especially with this being EMS week. The story has gone national and tons of prayers will be with them both. Glad to hear Gigi is home and recovering. Hoping Bill has a speedy recovery.
