Ambulance on the scene...

Ambulance on the scene...

First time I've ever called 9-1-1. A woman crossing the street here got knocked down by a GMC Suburban driven by a fellow making a left turn. I didn't see it hit her. I was walking away from the vicinity of that crosswalk. I heard a short scream and I turned around to see a pedestrian falling backwards onto the street surface.

So yeah, I called 9-1-1, got asked a bunch of questions and then waited to the ambulance to arrive. A police cruiser, fire engine and ambulance were dispatched. The victim wasn't bleeding or in anguish. She was obviously shaken by the experience and one fellow, a total stranger to her, kept her company and comforted her.

So there you have it. My incident of the day...
