rolled up on an accident--PD o/s, no FD yet...tripod, no camera, as I was on my way back from a long day at college...
I flash my FOX Toledo ID as I roll up, just to pass traffic. Hop out and grab my EMT kit and flares from my trunk...ended up coaching someone doing C-spine, trying to get the dude to hold still, and checkin on his 3-4 yo son in the back seat.
As soon as FD rolled up, I raced home to grab my camera. Made it back as the helo was landing, shot the extrication, them loading him up...got good sound from a girl who worked nearby and heard it all happen.
Troopers said speed and alcohol were what made the teenager in the SB lane swerve, overcorrect, and slam into the NB car with dad and kid inside. Kid, teen OK--dad lifeflighted...I didn't think it looked too bad, but the cops said otherwise...
