Amen my brother from another mother !!! AMEN !!!

 

Heck in VT one time I showed up to a house fire - ironically - first on scene in my POV - to be greeted with a highly intoixicated man and his loaded shot gun to my chest...   apparently his wife locked him out of the house - so he lit the house on fire to smoke her out...   and the children were trying to extinguish the house with a garden hose...

 

lucky for me several Sheriff happened to be nearby at another incident and were able to quickly come assist - and to make matters worse when the PD went into the house to recover the women she sprung at the with a concealed butcher knife...

 

so both hubby & wifey got arrested that day ...  and I lived to tell the tale  :)   [man that day sucked as a FF... a little nerve shattering]

 

another time... back woods VT... doing patient care on an accident victim... rapid extrication resulted in undressing the patient in the ambulance... at which point I found his loaded and cocked revolver shoved in his pants under his bulky layer of shirts... thankfully he was unconscious and did not know I he was being man-handled... but dang... any of us could have gotten shot trying to rescue him in his weather-related auto accident

 

a 3rd incident - we were called to a 2-car collision at an popular crash-site (highly travelled) intersection - we arrived on scene to find a husband and wife had INTENTIONALLY hit each other with their cars - apparently having a marital spat and a car chase across town had led them to intentionally smash into each other ... again... we had them both arrested for reckless endangerment... but we could not stop them from screaming at each other until they were in police cars... and we could not manage the accident scene since we were too busy trying to maintain safety for us & them...   p.s.   they totalled BOTH of their JOINTLY owned $40K cars - STUPID STUPID STUPID...

Good Morning Everyone !!!

 

but the crazies in New England... and PA... are adorable compared to the gang banger psychotic people that seem to congregate in my town...

 

So the driver of the "get away car" was killed instantly. His passenger died about one hour later. And the innocent person hit from oncoming traffic died 2 1/2 hours later at the hospital.

 

Ironically (or maybe not), a few blocks from where this car was initially caught up by the CHP for a "traffic violation" - they PD were looking for a hit-&-run car which hit and killed a pedestrian with their car and fled the scene. We are still waiting to hear if the PD think this driver was the hit and run driver too.

and can I just add... Hand to God... I could have been right there at the point of impact... I forgot something at home and ran back home quickly, which delayed me from being right at the location 10 minutes earlier...  ugh...  thank you for life's little Divine Interventions...

then of course, this happened in front of me last nite ... about 11 minutes in front of me... so I got on scene just as they were trying to gain control of traffic on 4 entrance ramps, 4 exit ramps, and both directions of 2 major highways each having 4-5 lanes of traffic going each way. They had not yet successfully shut down my traffic direction, as I scooted by the cop just as he was initiating a traffic break / full stop

 

3 DIE IN WRONG-WAY CRASH 

 

Three people were killed after a 2003 Jaguar pursued by the California Highway Patrol for a suspected traffic violation tried to flee going the wrong way on a freeway off ramp and slammed head-on into a 2010 Nissan Frontier pickup Saturday night.

A CHP officer tried to stop the Jaguar traveling southbound Interstate 215 at about 9:47 p.m. when it entered the wrong way on an off ramp coming from the 60 freeway, a CHP news release stated. The CHP officer broke off the pursuit and lost sight of the Jaguar.

Seconds later he saw smoke rising from around the bend of the off ramp. He drove down the off ramp and found the Jaguar had collided with the Nissan pickup. Both people in the Jaguar and the passenger in the pickup suffered fatal injuries.

The CHP identified the driver of the Jaguar as a 26-year-old Moreno Valley resident. The city of residence for the passenger in the Jaguar was unknown, while the people in the Frontier were identified only as a 53-year-old and a 23-year-old, both from Riverside.

The Riverside County coroner on Sunday identified one of the victims as 53-year-old Emeliano Perez of Moreno Valley. Perez was taken to Riverside Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12:20 this morning, a coroner's news release stated.

The coroner identified the other victims as two males from Moreno Valley. Their names have been withheld pending notification of next of kin.

The CHP is investigating the crash.
