FD EMT Hit & Run (The Secret List)
Around 2130 hours last night, Fire-EMS personnel from Delaware City (DE) were operating at a motorcycle crash on Delaware's busy highway, Route 13. While treating the initial patient, a FD EMT was suddenly struck by a passing car-and then the driver of that car jumped out of the car, jumped in another car and fled the scene. The hit and run driver and those involved are still at large. The FD EMT is in critical condition with numerous fractures and a head injury-but was reported to be speaking to crews initially at the scene. Another report is indicating that the fleeing driver first slammed into a police car that then struck the EMT....more details to follow.

The latest condition on Michelle Smith, 30, a FD EMT with the Delaware City Fire Company (DE, not MD as I accidentally wrote earlier) is that there may be additional orthopedic surgeries required tonight if swelling can be reduced enough.
NOTE: She is still in a comatose state, on a vent and at the moment, is reported to be very, very critical with massive traumatic injuries literally from head to toe.
Here is the scoop on what happened. The initial accident happened when 30 year old man lost control of his Harley Davidson motorcycle while riding south on U.S. 13. Delaware City FD EMT Michelle Smith, 30, along with the crew arrived and began to treat the bike rider. Then, a New Castle County police officer arrived on the scene. The officer noticed a 2004 BMW 760 speeding in his direction and got back into his car to avoid being struck...the BMW then sideswiped the cop's car... lost control and violently struck EMT Smith and Reiss, who were both on the ground. The BMW stopped on the shoulder of the road, but shortly after another vehicle pulled up alongside and the dirtbag got inside it and fled the scene.
Updates to follow....keep her and her 11yr old daughter. in your prayers-she has some extremely serious injuries.

Hey...
While FF's around Delaware and the world are praying for the recovery of hit & run victim Delaware City Fire Company EMT Michelle Smith, another Delaware Firefighter, 18 year old Will Breasure, was involved in a very serious crash. FF Breasure was ejected from his vehicle while responding to an alarm last evening. He has multiple serious traumatic injuries and was flown to the same hospital Michelle is in. Will is a member of the Georgetown Fire Company. Updates to follow.
DELAWARE HIT AND RUN UPDATE:
In regard to DCFC EMT Michelle Smith, she remains in extremely grave condition-we will keep you updated.
The Delaware State Police have an excellent idea of the identity of the dirtbag who was driving that BMW who abandoned the car after the crash...and fled the scene by jumping into another car that drove off. More to follow.

As reported by Statter 911, DCFC EMT Michelle Smith has passed away. I hope that they catch the sob that hit her and put his butt under the jail. He definitely needs some firehouse justice.
