Georgia state troopers are investigating a fatal crash involving an ambulance in Coweta County.
The ambulance crashed just after midnight Wednesday, after a front wheel moved off the road and into the ditch while traveling west on Georgia 34 near Chatsworth Place, said Tracey Watson, spokesperson for the Georgia State patrol.
The ambulance became airborne, rotated and struck a power pole and overturned, Watson said.
The American Medical Response ambulance was transporting a patient in a “non-emergency” status before the crash, he said.
The patient being transported, Tracy Thomas, 45, of Sharpsburg, died. The driver Scott Alan Eisele, 41, of Brooks and the medic in the rear, Yappett Renuard Scott, 39, of Fairburn, were both transported to Atlanta Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Weather did not play a factor, Watson said.
