Stay safe out there.

Another one who won't be seeing his family this Christmas. I actually stopped at this one before crews arrived.

He was alive then.



As an EMS provider you really feel helpless when you have no gear and no fire backup to flap the top.



Safe driving out there everyone.

 

Sucks, i know in the early am, midsfternoon, the sun is horrendus, could have been a factor there?

 

That sucks we need to get real drivers training. I'm not sure how y'all up there is but down here it's just a guy giving basic instructions on how to drive, no real evasive maneuvering driving or bad weather training. We need to get something like they have in Germany if they did that then I promise at least 40% of the people on the roads today will not have licenses.
Edit: Also that's why you get an emt supply bag to carry around with you.

 

Sunlight would not have been a factor, and the roads were dry and in optimal condition.

I'm guessing driver error of some kind. Maybe not his, but possibly.

 

THIS could not be more true. It is pathetic how easy it is to get a driver's license in this country. Hell, they don't take you out on the highway for $#@% sake. Most driver's tests are in a residential neighborhood and you make a couple of turns, parallel park, and poof - you have a license.

In Europe, some driver's tests last two days, and you drive in everything from mountain passes, to highway, to city driving, and everything in between.

I think of this every time some idiot doing 55 in the left lane parks there and has no clue why everyone is flashing him and giving him (or her) the finger.

 

I had to do 6 hours on open roads with my driving instructor. I was driving one day, and HE fell asleep in the passanger seat, no idea where i was haha
