MOBILE — A first responder from Mississippi is dead after Mobile Police say she was hit and killed by a man driving under the influence Saturday night. Jail records say the man accused of manslaughter has been arrested for DUI several times before.

ASAP EMS of Mississippi identified the medic as Mary “Katie” Pipkins.

Mobile Police say it happened on Moffett Road near the intersection of Shelton Beach Road at about 6:45 Saturday night. Police say two vehicles collided. An ASAP Ambulance from Mississippi, returning from a previous call, stopped to help.

Another vehicle, driven by 35-year-old Michael Thomas, collided with the first crash scene and hit the driver of one of the vehicles and a 30-year-old female ASAP medic.

The driver was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries but the medic was killed at the scene.
