The Gaston Gazette (Lauren Baheri/June 3) said five people were injured in the head-on 3:45 p.m. crash. The driver of the ambulance and a second EMT were among those hurt. According to the newspaper, the driver of the car first veered off the road onto the shoulder before overcorrecting into oncoming traffic. The driver of the Honda, Blair Stewart Orr, 36, had his wife and 9-year-old girl in the car with him at the time. All three were injured;specifics of their conditions are not known.

** A Wisconsin woman, who attacked a paramedic trying to help her after she fell from a moving car, could get heavy jail time for the assault. That is the word from WJFW TV-12 (Karolina Buczek/Anthony Bruno/June 3) which said Abbie Renken, 26, who may have been drunk at the time, punched and kicked the attending medic following her February mishap. According to the newspaper, police believe Renken exited the vehicle accidentally when she opened her door to vomit. Facing up to six years in jail, she will be likely be tagged with disorderly conduct and felony battery to an emergency worker.
