Alberta paramedic Jayme Erickson’s 17-year-old daughter Montana died after she was rescued by her mother from a car accident. .“My worst nightmare as a paramedic has come true,” said Jayme in a Facebook post. .The post said Jayme and a fellow paramedic were dispatched to a car accident west of Airdrie, AB, on Tuesday. They found two people with serious injuries, with the passenger trapped and critically injured. .Jayme sat in the car and tended to the critically injured person, doing whatever she could while firefighters extricated her. The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service took over patient care once the person was out, and it flew her to the Foothills Medical Centre (FMC) in Calgary. .Jayme’s shift ended, and she went home. Minutes after arriving home, her doorbell rang. .She said her “life was changed forever.” RCMP said Montana had been in an accident. .The post said she did not recognize Montana because her injuries were horrific. It said she was taken to FMC to see her daughter, and she was informed her injuries were incompatible with life. .Jayme said she “cannot help but be angry for the short amount of time I was given with her.” She added 17 years were not long enough. .The post went on to say she will never see Montana graduate and walk across the stage, get married, or know what she could have become. It said she loves her daughter more than any item in the world, including her goats. .It concluded by saying she will cherish the memories made and the time they had together. .“I am missing a piece of me,” she said. .“I am left to pick up the pieces and expected to carry on.”
