Early this morning a Brevard County, Florida firefighter/paramedic and a civilian were hit by a vehicle while tending to a patient on the side of a road. Police ended up charging two men from two different vehicles with DUI.
Palm Bay police said two people who were assisting a DUI driver were struck by another DUI driver early Saturday morning.
The incident happened shortly after 1:00 a.m. in the area of Minton Road and Palm Bay Road.
Rescue workers also attempted to revive the man and began medical treatment in the median of Minton Road.
