On Tuesday, September 02, 2008, at approximately 0941 hours the Fayetteville Police Department’s Traffic Unit responded to the area of Raeford Rd. and Bunce Rd, in reference to a four (4) car collision involving a Hoke County Ambulance.
The preliminary investigation indicated a 2007 Ford Ambulance, owned by American Medical Response, was traveling on HWY 401 North (Raeford Rd.) towards Bunce Rd. The ambulance was occupied by the driver, Mr. Hector Michaud IV, EMS worker Jessica Hayworth, and a patient Mr. Curtis White. As the ambulance approached the intersections of Raeford Rd and Bunce Rd, the ambulance struck three (3) other vehicles, overturned, and came to rest on its driver’s side.
It has been determined that the ambulance was not running emergency traffic and was within the speed limit. The driver, Mr. Hector Michaud IV, was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision and it appears that inattention was a factor. The other drivers involved included a Jonathan Daniel Matys of Raeford, NC, a Tonya Roper Pearson of Fayetteville, NC and a Jami Kathleen Hernandez of Fayetteville, NC. A total of four individuals were transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and treated for non-life threatening injuries. -End-
