A Med-Care EMS paramedic was tragically killed
in the line of duty July 5, when the ambulance he was
riding in collided with a pickup truck on Route 4 in Turner
(Maine) at about 0300 hours. Med-Care is the 9-1-1 EMS
provider for that area. The ambulance had its emergency
lights on when the pickup truck crossed in front of it
on Route 4.
The ambulance driver, 68-year old Arlene Greenleaf of
Bethel, and the driver of the pickup, 29-year old Christopher
Boutin of Turner, were both seriously injured, as was
the patient being carried in the ambulance. The paramedic
who tragically died is 46-year old Allan Parsons of Wilton
who was in the back of the unit, providing patient care.
Our deepest condolences to all those effected.... and
of course, to the family of Paramedic Parsons.
Paramedic Allan Parsons' viewing was held at
Wiles Funeral Home (Farmington on Rt 2 next to Fire Station)
on Wednesday, July 11 from 2-4p and from 6-8p. Funeral
Services were on Thursday, July 12 at 1:00pm at the Franklin
County Fairgrounds (Farmington).
