Wulf described what his crew saw when they arrived on scene.
“The victim was lying in the street. We continued to block the rest of the road off, initiated patient care,” he said.
The woman was alert and responsive when they started treatment.
“Passed off care to a helicopter crew, and they were transported to Columbus in, I would say, in critical condition,” Wulf said.
He added that he’s seen bad crashes before, but never a cement truck versus a pedestrian.
“I haven’t seen anything like this in the downtown area,” Wulf said.
He said that as it gets warmer, more people will be outside and in the downtown area.
“You have to pay more attention to what’s going on, whether you’re a pedestrian or a driver, even a passenger in a vehicle. You know, always look twice in both directions before you cross the street. Make sure nothing’s coming,” Wulf said.
News Center 7 has reached out to the Bellefontaine Police Department for more information on this crash.
