Nashville Ambulance Driver Suffered Medical Crisis Before Fatal Wreck

The Nashville ambulance crash, that killed paramedic  driving the ambulance and the 78 year old passenger Sue Bly , may have been caused by the preexisting medical conditions of the driver.

The ambulance driver, David Cline, had a history of vehicle accidents caused by seizures and a condition called narcolepsy which causes a person to fall asleep uncontrollably at any given time. 

If an employer knows, of should have known of a dangerous medical condition of an employee, the employer may be held liable for “negligent entrustment.”  If the employer is found to be negligent for entrusting a vehicle to an, ”at risk” employee, the employer may be help liable for damage caused by the employee.
