Lieutenant Paul Mickolick responded to an emergency call of a vehicle accident. When he got to the scene, Lieutenant Mickolick discovered a pickup truck that was stuck in a ditch. After radioing other emergency responders to notify them what he found at the scene and slow their response, Lieutenant Mickolick began to assist the driver of the pickup truck.
A short time later, another vehicle drove off the right side of the roadway and into the ditch striking both Lieutenant Mickolick and the driver of the pickup truck. Other emergency responders got to the scene and initiated CPR. Lieutenant Mickolick was then transported to a local hospital where, despite all efforts, was pronounced deceased. The driver of the pickup truck was flown by helicopter to another hospital with serious injuries.
