The “good Samaritan” involved in this weekend’s fatal crash on I-95 has been identified as 27-year-old paramedic Mary Jolly.
She was critically injured early Saturday while assisting a driver who had been struck by a car. Moments later, she was hit by another vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Jolly later died at a Florida hospital, surrounded by her family and GEMS Chief Mark Lamphiear.
“Mary was more than a colleague — she was part of our EMS family,” GEMS Deputy Chief Jamie McConnell said. “Her compassion, steady presence, and deep commitment to serving this community touched countless lives. This loss will be felt across our entire organization.”
Jolly joined GEMS in 2021 and served on the department’s swift water rescue team, which recently competed in an event in Fayetteville in September.
