From Florence County EMS:
On Tuesday August 9, 2022 at approximately 8:56pm paramedics from Florence County Emergency Medical Services, law enforcement officers and firefighters were managing the scene of a motor vehicle collision on Pamplico Highway in Florence. While the paramedics were actively caring for a victim involved in the collision, a vehicle that was not involved in the initial collision drove through the crash scene and struck at least 4 people, including one of the paramedics and two law enforcement officers. We are heartbroken and overwhelmed by grief as we announce that two people died following this incident, including one of our paramedics.
LREMS was on stand by August 5 - 11, 2022 for the Dixie Youth World Series. LREMS was proud to partner with the Lumberton Youth Baseball Association to provide EMS coverage for this event.
