mkutlass Posted December 23 Report Share Posted December 23 Mississippi EMT Responds To Fatal Car Crash; Discovers Victim Is His WifeCourtesy of The Daily Journal PONTOTOC - Mike Martin was well on his way for an early morning hunting trip, when he heard a call on his scanner, said a family member. All the emergency medical technician knew when he arrived on the scene was that a car had run off Highway 9 about 4 miles south of Sherman. The family member told the Daily Journal Martin couldn't see the car when he arrived shortly after 6:15 a.m. He was the first on the scene. When Martin arrived he found a young woman who had been ejected after her car flipped, witnesses told Highway Patrol Sgt. H.L. Kitchens. As Martin checked for a pulse, he saw the ring he had placed on his wife's finger only a month before. Martin attempted CPR until Highway Patrol arrived on the scene and pronounced his wife, April Caldwell Martin, 21, dead. The Martins were residents of 3225 Highway 345 in Pontotoc. Kitchens said she was on her way to work at North Mississippi Medical Center where she worked as a nurse with the hospital's Heart Team. Witnesses told officers April Martin saw an oncoming vehicle while she attempted to pass a car on Highway 9. Then, officers conjecture, Martin jerked her car back into her lane and lost control. Her right tire went off the road - causing her to over correct, Kitchens said. Her car crossed the opposite lane and flipped end-over-end. April Martin received her nursing degree from Itawamba Community College in 2002 after graduating from Mantachie High School as valedictorian. Pegues Funeral Home of Tupelo is in charge of funeral arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
