The paramedic driving a LifeStar Ambulance died around 12:30 Friday morning after a two vehicle crash at the intersection of County Road 197 and Ohio 19 in Green Creek Township just before 7:30 Thursday evening. Sandra L. Cline, 45, of Holland, suffered what would be fatal injuries after William A. Bluethmann, driving a 2013 Dodge Journey SUV, failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the ambulance, said Sgt. Justin Powell, of the Fremont post of the Ohio State Patrol.
The ambulance over turned onto its side. Powell said troopers did receive information from witness that Cline might have been thrown from the vehicle but they could not independently confirm that information.
“She was unconscious,” Powell said. “Several witnesses assisted at the scene.”
