A 16-year-old EMT student, Jaiden Zimmerman, died in a car accident in Tyre, NY, while on his way to a clinical experience shift. The collision involved his SUV and a tractor-trailer. Zimmerman was a dedicated member of North Seneca Ambulance and was actively pursuing his EMT certification. The accident is under investigation.
Police said Jaiden Zimmerman, 16, of Clyde was southbound on State Route 414 in Tyre around 8:55 a.m. when his SUV crossed into the northbound lane at a slight curve in the roadway. The driver of an oncoming tractor-trailer tried to avoid the SUV and applied his brakes, but the vehicles collided, according to police. Zimmerman was pronounced dead at the scene. The tractor-trailer driver was not injured.
In a Facebook post, North Seneca Ambulance said Zimmerman 'was a dedicated and hardworking member of North Seneca Ambulance who gave countless hours to this agency and to the people we serve.' He was actively working toward passing his EMT course, and it was clear to everyone around him how much this work meant to him. He showed up with dedication, heart, and a genuine desire to help others.
The organization said Zimmerman was 'traveling in his personal vehicle while reporting to a scheduled clinical experience shift as part of his EMT course' when the crash happened.

He was a bright light in our classroom—hardworking, eager to learn, and deeply committed to his goal of helping others. His dedication to his studies and his community was inspiring to his instructors and classmates alike.
