WELLINGTON — Regardless of how long firefighters, EMTs and other rescue workers work to save the lives of people seriously injured or facing death at acci­dent scenes, nothing can prepare them for the kind of horrific crash that claimed the lives of a Wellington family this week. It’s even worse when those personnel know the people they are fighting to save.

“I was on the call, and I also know the family,” Carrie Thompson, EMS coordi­nator for the Central Lorain County Ambulance District, said Thursday. “A lot of the responders knew them because we run out of the hospital (Mercy Allen Hos­pital in Oberlin), and Simone just began working here. It was especially heart­wrenching for some of us.”
