“It is with deep regret and sadness that the City of Somerset announces the line of duty death of EMT Chastian McWhorter, 26.
At approximately 8:30 a.m. April 1, 2024, McWhorter and coworker Baily Haynes were involved in an accident with a semi-truck during a patient transport in Garrard County. McWhorter passed away at the scene, while Haynes was transported to the University of Kentucky Medical Center with minor injuries. The patient being transported also died as result of this incident.
