State Police Putnamville reports 40-year-old Captain David Sherfick, a 17-year veteran of the Brown Township Fire Department, was driving his ambulance west on IN-144 east of Mann coming back from a patient transport when 45-year-old James Hoskins of Nashville, coming the other way, reportedly crossed the centerline crashing into the ambulance head on.
