Medic45, Brian Rogers, was involved in an accident earlier today. He and his partner were struck by another vehicle, causing the ambulance to flip. Brian suffered a broken leg and some ribs while his partner suffered a broken arm. The occupants of the other vehicle were killed upon impact.
Brian is in pretty serious condition at a local trauma center. I'd like to ask each of you to send prayers and good vibes his way for a speedy and full recovery.
I'll update this post as more information becomes available.

Last update is the Brian's partner has been released and is on his way home. Brian has a badly fractured leg, several fractured ribs and a fractured sternum. He'll be having surgery on his leg tomorrow.
They were returning from an interfacility transfer. Brian was in the passenger seat and the ambulance landed on the drivers side.

Brian went into surgery earlier today to repair his leg but, I haven't heard if he's out or not. As soon as I get new information I'll post it.
Regardless of how much we squabble with each other, or whether we know someone who works EMS, we're all a huge family much like the cigar world. We call each other brothers and sisters and I'd like to think I speak for the entire community when I say thank you for the thoughts and prayers. When I speak with Brian I'll let him know that everyone kept him in their thoughts. Thanks again, Brothers.
If anyone is interested, I'm going to send a get well card around and get some BOTL to sign it. If you want to participate, PM me your address and I'll put you on the list.
