Yeah, Rod, if you just want to back up and pick up what you got there, I'll hang out in this one lane. Copy, I just know it'll be easier if you roll forward and I just start putting the cones in and then we get to my cone. We shove them in my car until, so I don't pick my up and they start cutting. Yeah, let's just work backwards because it'll come up in behind us and we'll have a mess on our hands. Copy.

Base, 643 to 625, I'll back up to you and we'll pick up, kind of put them in your car so we still have a block and still go up to my cruiser.

State 3, 640. 640. Hey, sir, I got two additional trucks coming in. Where do you want them at? Uh, you're probably looking for 604, not 640, so I'll let him handle that for you. Sergeant, you got it? Copy, state 3, 604. 604. So, you got two extra trucks coming in. Where do you want them?

The patient was in trauma arrest. Which means they probably had a heart attack while driving down the road. Which explains the swerving of the vehicle before the crash. Praying the victim is ok. But it sounds like they also might have lost a lot of blood. Prognosis doesn’t look good in my opinion. Praying for them. :(

@NikitaRitaa that’s not what trauma arrest means, it means the accident or blunt force trauma caused the heart to arrest.

ColumbusUser976005005Mar 26 at 7:14 AM

It’s possible his blood sugar was extremely low. Maybe even stroke or heart attack prior to the accident

When I was in a very very bad accident few years back, my 3yo nephew at the time was watching the news with his great grams and the breaking news came on and Chopper was showing live view of the accident and my nephew recognized my car....it does actually happen

For god sakes the man was having chest pains when driving! Be respectful on here! he was having g a heart attack and thats why he was swerving. Why comment and you don't know the facts.
