From eastern NC/VA, this medical transport unit out of Elizabeth City, NC, was struck by a wrong-way vehicle on Interstate 464 in Chesapeake early Sunday morning. [Three people were killed, including both medics in the ambulance.]

The driver of the ambulance, [EMT] Skye A. Oraczewski, 22, and passenger [Paramedic] Stephen M. [Mike] Anderson, 53, were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

[ Both later died of their injuries.]

The driver of the colliding car, a 39 year-old female, died at the scene.

From news reports and details from the Virginia State Police, the collision occurred around 2:30 a.m. near Exit 2 at Military Highway.

The 2024 Ford Econoline ambulance, operated by Midwest Medical Transport [though lettered as North State Medical Transport(1)], was traveling south on the freeway. [ The unit was returning from a call. ]

It was struck head-on by a 2022 Lexus sedan that was travelling the wrong way in the southbound lanes. The collision caused both vehicles to catch fire.

[ Chesapeake Fire-Rescue was dispatched at 2:31 a.m. Arriving units found both the ambulance and the Lexus on fire. ]

(1) From Google, Midwest Medical Transport recently acquired North State Medical Transport.
