Oklahoma Double “Struck-By”
October 6, 2002, 4:30 p.m. Paramedics Shawn Skelly, 27, and Michael
Gilmore, 32, were treating the driver of a vehicle that had left the roadway during a severe rainstorm on I-35 north of Ardmore near Davis, OK.
As they were preparing to load the patient into their ambulance, a Ford Explorer that had not slowed down, but had gone around traffic that had slowed for the original accident, hydroplaned on the highway, striking all three, killing them instantly.

its pre-incident capacity as quickly and safely as possible
• Minimize motorists delays though traffic control, lighting, and opening of lanes
• Make effective use of all clearance resources
• Enhance the safety of responders and motorists
• Protect the roadway system and private property from unnecessary damage during the removal process
