Fire District 3 EMTs and Whidbey General Hospital paramedics arrived minutes later and treated the boys at the scene. The paramedics then transported the boys to the hospital for more treatment.Todd said Kuolt admitted to driving in excess of the 50 mph speed limit on Maxwelton Road. He was later cited for speeding. “
