Polk County Fire Rescue supports paramedic hurt in ambulance collision
Polk County Fire Rescue has come together to support one of their colleagues, John Parris, who was injured in an ambulance accident. They are standing by John's side around the clock as he remains in the hospital. The incident occurred when the ambulance driven by Eryn Orduna, with John Parris tending to a patient in the back, was hit by a Ford F450 truck at an intersection. John suffered a traumatic brain injury, brain bleeding, and broken bones, but is now in the ICU breathing on his own. His family and colleagues are by his side, taking shifts to support him during his recovery. While John's condition is being monitored day by day, the driver of the pickup truck is expected to fully recover, and the patient being transported also remains in the ICU. The investigation into the accident is ongoing, with uncertainties about potential repercussions for the pickup truck driver.
