"We jumped out and went to help them and we saw that the two in the vehicle were dead. So, we went on to the ambulance and got one of them out and the other one was pinned," said Smith.

The men are paramedics with Allen's Ambulance Services, a private company in Owsley County. The sheriff said one of the men was flown from the scene to the University of Kentucky Hospital and the other man was driven to Clark Regional Hospital. Both men are expected to be okay.
