DUI Driver Injures Paramedics

Two paramedics were injured by a suspected drunk driver last week.

Portland Police say the paramedics responded to a church parking lot where a woman was passed out in the driver's seat.

While they were working on her, she woke, started the car and backed up pinning one paramedic to the ambulance and driving over the foot of the other paramedic. She fled the scene.

Officers found her at home and arrested her. 29-year-old Rasheon Murphy had a blood alcohol nearly three times the legal limit.

The paramedics were treated at a hospital for serious injuries and released.
