No charges to be filed after fatal ambulance crash

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - No criminal charges will be filed against the woman who was driving the car that collided with an ambulance, killing two medics on Feb. 16 .

Cody Medley and Tim McCormick died in the crash.

The driver of the car, Jade Hammer, had a BAC of .038, according to the prosecutor’s announcement on Thursday. That's below the legal limit of .08. According to Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry, both vehicles were speeding at the time. Hammer's car was going between 35 and 40 mph and the ambulance was going between 45 and 50 mph, and both vehicles were in a 30 mph speed limit area. The ambulance was not responding to an emergency.

Although Hammer did drive through a red light at the intersection where she collided with the ambulance, Curry said it didn't rise to the level of criminal recklessness.

“This was clearly a tragic accident, and we again extend our sympathies to the families and friends of Cody Medley and Tim McCormick,” Curry said in a news release. “However, we do not believe that the circumstances of the accident rise to the level of a crime.”

Both men were remembered in a memorial on Feb. 20 .
