EMT Hit and Run has now past away.
www.dcfc15.com (DE) Member Michelle Smith, age 29. As you know, Smith was operating at the scene of a motorcycle crash Saturday evening when she was struck and critically injured. Her injuries were too severe and she has now tragically died in the Line of Duty.
The Delaware City Fire Company was providing ambulance coverage for the Wilmington Manor Fire Company that evening. Upon arrival at the crash, and initial assessment of the patient, FD Ambulance Driver Michelle Smith, 29, was assisting the EMT on scene with patient care. A County Police Officer stopped to assist with traffic control, as rescue and fire police units from Wilmington Manor began to arrive. A vehicle that attempted to avoid the incident scene struck the County Police vehicle and then swerved around the Delaware City BLS unit, striking Ms. Smith. The driver of the vehicle then fled the scene. Ms. Smith was treated on scene by New Castle County Paramedics and EMT's from Wilmington Manor and Goodwill Fire Companies. She was transported with extensive traumatic injuries and has now succumbed to those injuries. Police are narrowing in on the suspects in this hit and run...and now, potential murder.
Our most sincere condolences to the members of the Delaware City Fire Company but especially the young Daughter, her family and friends of Michelle Smith. Here is their home page: www.dcfc15.com Please remember her husband and her 11 y/o daughter she left behind.
Take Care-BE CAREFUL.

RIP Sister God Bless her family and department. we all have to watch out for these idiots no one can drive anymore or even care that we are out there busting our butts i think when a FF EMT or PO gets hit by a vehicle while on a wreck scene the person if caught gets charged with 2nd degree murder.

RIP, Sister. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and your F.D. that they will find the strength to carry on.
P.S. - From what I understand, the Police have a good idea who the driver of the hit & run vehicle was that killed our sister firefighter. I believe there's a special place reserved for him in Hell!
