On friday, Jan 12, 2024 we responded to an accident involving a school bus and a coal truck. Neon EMS received the initial call and quickly identified the need for additional help. The staff of Neon EMS and Letcher EMS immediately activated every ambulance available in Letcher County. Additionally, ambulance services in surrounding counties were notified and asked for additional help to be ready if needed.
We are proud of the fact that our Letcher County EMS agencies were able to accommodate and care for our community in such a large magnitude.
The Letcher County Public Schools, Arlie Boggs Elementary, Whitesburg ARH, MCHC, Whitesburg Police Department, Whitesburg Fire Department, Cumberland River Fire Department, Kentucky State Police and Letcher County Sheriffs office all done a fantastic job caring for those we have pledged to serve.
Our prayers remain with the students, their families and the adults involved in the accident. We pray that the Lord will continue to hold these sweet children in the palm of his hand during the time of physical and mental healing they will experience.
We love our community and we are proud of the Letcher County agencies that showed up when the need was presented.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the Wildcat Family.
