Paramedic who treated dying teen at car crash later realised victim was own daughter

A paramedic desperately tried to save a critically injured teen at the scene of hospital - without realising it was her own daughter. Jayme Erickson was called out to the road collision on November 15 in Airdrie in Alberta, Canada where she found the victim with severe injuries.

She treated her for nearly half an hour while firefighters worked to remove her from the vehicle, staying by the girl's side until she was airlifted to the Mirror reports. Due to the extent of her 'horrific' injuries, the emergency worker didn't recognise the victim as her own 17-year-old daughter, Montana.

Following the incident, Ms Erickson expressed her grief to fellow paramedic Richard Reed, saying: "Tonight a family will most likely lose their daughter." Montana had been travelling with another female when their car lost control and was hit by a truck, the Mirror reports.
