Minnesota Woman Struck and Killed by Ambulance

• St. Paul Pioneer Press
• 2009 Jun 22

The 79-year-old woman who was struck and killed by an ambulance Saturday has been identified as Margaret A. Kuehn, of St. Paul.

Kuehn died after being hit by a St. Paul Fire Department ambulance that was backing down an alley between Randolph and James avenues just after 6 p.m., police said Sunday. The ambulance had entered the area after an elderly woman lost control of her car in a Walgreens store parking lot, broke through a privacy fence, went over a retaining wall and into the alley.

Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Schnell said that while the driver’s injuries were being assessed, the ambulance, which was first sent to the pharmacy parking lot, was driven to the alley by a St. Paul firefighter to allow paramedics easier access to their equipment. As the ambulance driver was backing the vehicle toward the crash, Kuehn walked into the alley and was struck.

Kuehn, a James Avenue resident, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the crashed car did not require transportation to the hospital, Schnell said. The St. Paul police traffic and accident unit is investigating the fatal accident.

Schnell said the ambulance has been taken out of service for inspection, which is standard procedure for vehicles involved in fatal crashes. In addition, the St. Paul Fire Department will perform a separate internal investigation and review of safety procedures and protocols.

Along those lines I will be speaking at our Mt Nebo offices in Provo Saturday June 20 at 0900 hours. The topic is Trauma and Shock. The lecture should last about four hours and be full of cool pictures. Well they are cool if you like blood and carnage. Anyway if you are in Provo and would like to stop by feel free to come see me and listen to a fun lecture.

Thanks for reading and please visit often for information about EMS and Fire.

Today’s Thought: If you think something is funny, laugh out loud. It cleanses the soul and makes everyone around you back away. Which ain’t too bad on a hot sticky day.

Love everyone you come in contact with and forgive everyone else. Cause they may not remember what they did.

Relax and dream; For tommorrow you may be at work.

The conference website is: EMS Associates Conference 2009

Today’s photo is Kristy was dreaming of all the time in class.

Today’s thought: When in Rome speak as a Roman, When in Logan speak with a country Accent ya’all.

Heaven On Earth, Lake Powell at it's best.

Well the stress is over for me, the lecture went OK and the workshop was a good learning experience for me and hopefully everyone else. If anyone wants the videos I used in this class or any other class I have taught, try to email me. You will need to let me know which videos you want, as I can’t remember what I had for lunch, let alone which videos I played in class today.

Tee time is set for Thursday at 1707 hours, if anyone else wants to come along please let Joey or I know.

Thought for the day: Smile; it makes everyone else wonder what you are up to!

End of a hard day, Time to Rest
