A heart attack is believed to have been what killed a Silver Spring Ambulance and Rescue
driver, causing a crash that sent an emergency medical technician to the hospital.
Barry John Nagle, 66, of Mechanicsburg, was at the wheel of an ambulance that was transporting a patient around 2:30 this morning when he suffered a fatal heart attack and crashed, authorities said.
George Weimer, of Silver Spring Twp., was injured in the crash. Weimer, an EMT who was in the ambulance, was transported to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, said Silver Spring Township Emergency Management Coordinator Jim Hall.

According to Hall, the Silver Spring ambulance had picked up a patient from the earlier crash involving another ambulance from out of the area and was transporting that patient to the hospital when the accident occurred. The out-of-the-area ambulance was carrying two nurses in addition to the patient.
