It is with deep regret that we advise you that Johnson County (TN) Rescue Squad member Joseph R. Barlow has died in the Line of Duty.
As we previously posted on Tuesday, a civilian driver crossed the center line of a northeast Tennessee highway, crashing into the rescue squad's ambulance, killing the patient being transported.
The civilian fatality was Alicia McCoy, 57. McCoy was the patient being transported to a hospital by the Johnson County Rescue Squad. When the crash occurred, Rescue Squad Member Joe Barlow, who was the driver, was thrown out when the vehicle ran into a ditch and overturned after being struck in the front by the sedan. Barlow, who was reported in critical condition Wednesday morning-passed away this afternoon.
Seriously injured was rescue squad member Kevin Colson (who has NLT injuries) and the driver of the car, Barbara Buchanan. Criminal charges are expected. We have no official confirmation related to seat belt or other details.
As always, our most sincere condolences to the members of the Johnson County Rescue Squad and the family and friends of Rescue Squad Member Joseph Barlow. Details to follow.
Take Care-Be Careful. Make Sure All Members Are Secure and Belted In.

Thoughts and prayers to the family of our fallen brother. Stay safe out there, and make sure you use those seat belts! Make sure they are engaged properly; I always wear mine, in my pov and on the truck. Our families need us at home, not in the hospital or dead. Much Love!
