Trans-Care releases statement on ambulance and bike accident
Below is a statement from Trans-Care sent to WTWO/WAWV:
'On April 15, 2025, Trans-Care Ambulance was involved in a tragic incident where many lives were disrupted when our unit with two EMS technicians and a motorized bike with two young girls collided. Immediately, the two technicians from the ambulance involved and shortly thereafter, an additional nine EMS technicians were on scene deploying the highest level of prehospital care.
The company has worked transparently and cooperatively with local officials over the past two days, including giving up possession of the unit involved so that it can be moved to a lock up for examination by data experts, and has also provided other data points including onboard video recordings.
Our Ambulance technicians involved were traveling emergently to an unrelated motor vehicle accident and used emergency lights consistent with common practice. Dispatch records indicate the unit was in route to a motor vehicle accident for Vigo County 911 unrelated to this accident. Moments into their emergency response, the incident happened at an intersection where the ambulance had no stop sign.
As a provider to emergency services, we recognize and share the grief families are having. Other emergency services have reached out contributing to Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) for professionals who participated in this incident. Our prayers continue to be with all those affected by this tragedy especially to the family who lost their loved one. At the time of this release, we do not have official notice for the second bike rider condition but believe and pray for her continued recovery.'

Chinese warship, coast guard vessel collide in busy shipping lane
Two Chinese military ships collided Monday while harassing a Philippines coast guard vessel in the South China Sea. The incident, which was captured on video by the crew of the Filipino ship, pointed up the potential dangers to shipping in the region, through which 60% of global maritime trade passes. The video showed the Chinese coast guard vessel pursuing the Philippines ship at high speed while firing a water cannon in the Scarborough Shoal, an increasingly common tactic by China as they try to intimidate other countries in an area it almost entirely seized from the Philippines in 2012. Beijing's claim was later rejected by an international ruling. The video shows the much larger Chinese warship slicing between the chase vessels and colliding with the Chinese coast guard vessel. Later footage and photos show the latter idle in the water with a crushed bow. The Philippines coast guard said it saw Chinese crew in the bow area at the time of the incident, but could not say if there had been any injuries. The China coast guard acknowledged that an incident had taken place, but did not mention the collision.
