Authorities have arrested a driver accused of killing a Georgia EMT who was heading home from work in September in Oconee County. Nearly eight months after the wrong-way crash, the Georgia State Patrol arrested Megan Kingston on Tuesday in connection with the death of Jennifer Patrick. Patrick, 43, worked full time as a paramedic for National EMS in Athens and part time for the Elbert County EMS. A car driven by Kingston was traveling the wrong way on Georgia 316 westbound and crashed head-on into Patrick’s car, according to a GSP report. A witness who was heading eastbound said he started to blow his horn and wave a cellphone light to get Kingston’s attention, according to the report. Another witness tried to flash his lights to alert Kingston, according to the GSP.
