According to a press release from Capt. Alex Maich of the Redmond Police Department, the Jefferson County ambulance was transporting patient William P. Davis and headed south on Highway 97, when it impacted a car driven by Casey J. Hagan, which was almost stopped in the center lane to make a left turn. The impact of the collision pushed Hagan's car 140 feet backwards, and caused the ambulance to cross three lanes of traffic and roll onto its right side some 40 feet off the east side of the highway. All four people in the vehicles were transported to Redmond and Bend hospitals, with two being air lifted. Don Heckathorn, assistant manager of the ambulance service, had been in the back of the ambulance with the patient. On Tuesday, he was in serious condition at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend with a broken neck and was expected to undergo surgery. His brother, George Heckathorn, manager of the ambulance service, who was driving the ambulance, was treated and released from the Redmond hospital, and Hagan was discharged from the Bend hospital. Davis (the ambulance patient) was in the critical care unit at the Bend hospital on Tuesday.
