Dana Morse will never forget the image of the ambulance holding her dying husband driving away without her.
"It is a memory that I will have to live with for the rest of my life, that I wasn’t with my husband when he died," she said Saturday.
Morse lost her husband, David, 41, a father of two, in a skiing accident at Sugarloaf ski resort in Maine on Thursday. The family from Kingston had been on a vacation at the resort since last Sunday with several other families.
Her husband, an experienced skier, was wearing a helmet, but he suffered severe chest injuries and internal bleeding after losing control and hitting a tree.
Morse, a nurse practitioner, said she was seated in the front passenger seat of the ambulance taking her husband to Franklin Memorial Hospital’s emergency department in Farmington, about an hour away from the ski resort.
About half a kilometre into the journey, fearing her husband would die, she asked the driver to let her sit in the back with him so she could hold his hand.
Instead, the driver let her out on the side of the road and drove away.
