Ok, now that I have you Attention..please read 3 Attachment(s) This morning a State Trooper was heading hot (lights and sirens) to a motor vehicle accident. A 28 year old woman and her baby, for no known reason, turned into his path and he collide with her at a high rate of speed killing her instantly (I hope, so not to suffer). Word from the people who worked the accident said he just didn't hit her and she bounced off but fused with her and finally separated. He struck her in the passenger side. The baby was flown to a Tulsa Hospital, as well as, the trooper and no word on them as for now. Ok, here's where the EMT comes out of me. I can not tell you how many times I have made eye contact with people driving while running hot and still they try to beat me, turn in front of me and even try to pass me. Number one, our vehicles are made out of the same material your car is made from and if we collide we will both hurt if we don't die. Number two, look in your mirrors to look for other cars and not to just check your make up. We know that cars are made to be sound proof and you may not hear us, but we really hope you are paying attention to the road and not the last text message you just got. My advice, just watch where you are going, look in your mirrors more often, and wear your seat belts PROPERLY. So, hopefully you will see your kids graduate, get married and have a family of their own. This could've been you. |
i have a friend who works as a nurse on Vanderbilt Life Flight. I hear stories like this too often. I really wish people would pay attention when they are driving. I have been run off the road a few times by people not paying attention when changing lanes. it just scares me. I admire those of you in the EMT business. It is just something I don't think I could do. |
Dear Lord thats horrible. |

http://newsok.com/article/3175893 EUFAULA — A woman was killed and her infant and a state trooper were seriously injured in an early-morning wreck Friday near Eufaula. According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, trooper Justin Williams was responding to an injury accident when the trooper himself was involved in a fatal crash about 6:40 a.m. "It was a horrible accident, and our hearts are broken that it happened,” said trooper Betsy Randolph by phone from a Tulsa hospital where Williams and the infant were being treated. Both were taken from the accident scene by helicopter to Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa. The driver, who is believed to be the child's mother, was killed in the crash. The woman apparently pulled out from a convenience store on State Highway 9 about a mile-and-a-half east of Eufaula, into the path of the trooper's car. A Stigler funeral home identified the woman as Tiffany Brown, 24, of Porum, but as of 7 p.m. Friday, troopers hadn't released her name. Patrol is ‘not sure why it happened' Williams was using his emergency lights and sirens at the time of the accident, and troopers aren't sure why the woman didn't see the approaching patrol car, Randolph said. "We still don't know if it was because it was still dark or there was something obstructing her view,” Randolph said. "We're not sure why it happened.” The child, a 9-month-old girl, suffered a broken leg and minor cuts and bruises in the wreck, Randolph said. The baby's aunt arrived at the hospital Friday afternoon to watch over her. "She was holding her in her arms and cooing at her when I saw them,” Randolph said. The girl was strapped into a car seat, which apparently was knocked loose in the wreck and landed on the floor, Randolph said. Williams suffered facial fractures, head injuries and a foot fracture. Doctors were monitoring his condition in the hospital's intensive care unit, Randolph said. "The department as a whole has been hurt by this,” Randolph said. "Our hearts go out not just because a trooper was injured but because he is emotionally distraught right now. He's thinking about that woman and her family like I'm sure we all are.” |
