TURNER – A 30-year-old Turner man has been indicted on charges of manslaughter and drunken driving arising from an early morning crash last summer in Turner that killed a paramedic while he was tending a patient en route to the hospital.

Christopher Boutin is accused of crashing his pickup truck into an ambulance on Route 4, killing 46-year-old Allan Parsons of Wilton. The ambulance driver and Boutin were seriously injured.

Investigators said Boutin was drunk at the time of the July 5 crash and failed to yield to the ambulance, which had its emergency lights on.

The indictment handed up Thursday said Boutin’s blood-alcohol level was more than 0.15, which is nearly twice the legal limit for drunken driving.
