HOUSTON COUNTY: 08:22 AM This morning there were several Houston County Sheriff Deputies and EMS units running lights and siren on the eastside of Houston County around Ashford.
Emergency units traveling east and the ambulance being escorted by law enforcement back west towards Dothan.
Not giving the exact address but a 3 week old child was not breathing. Law Enforcement clears the path so the ambulance does not have to slow for traffic. Law Enforcement clears the pat.
If you have ever traveled lights and siren, the motoring public freaks and you never know what they are going to do.
They made it to Southeast Health. This is all RSN knows at this time.
