An off-duty Tipton County paramedic killed in a traffic crash in Midtown Memphis Tuesday night has been identified as Daron Juan Greenway of Memphis, police officials said Wednesday.

The driver of the stolen Honda Accord that hit Greenway’s Dodge Durango died early this morning at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, said Memphis police spokeswoman Monique Martin. The Accord driver’s identity will not be released until his family is notified.

Shortly before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, a patrol officer noticed the stolen 1991 Honda Accord with expired tags driving near Lamar and Carnes and attempted to pull the driver over at McLemore and Rembert. The driver of the Accord sped off and, heading west on Walker, ran a stop sign at McLean and crashed into a 2002 Dodge Durango, headed north on McLean, driven by Greenway, Martin said.

The Durango rolled over, hit a curb and landed on a chain-link fence, Martin said. Greenway, 42, died there.

Greenway worked as a paramedic for Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton. He had worked there for three-and-a-half years, officials said.

The driver of the Accord was taken to The Med in extremely critical condition and died there about 1 a.m., Martin said.

The Accord was reported stolen from the 1200 block of Howell about 1 p.m. Tuesday. The vehicle’s owner said she’d left the car running in her driveway to heat it up and saw a man get in the car and drive away.
