Jacob and I went on a rescue call together yesterday. I love it when we get to go on calls together. That doesn't happen very often.
The call was to a motor vehicle accident on whetstone hill. Apparently this truck came up the hill way to fast and ran into the back of a dump truck. Then it took awhile for them to get stopped so the dump truck drug this truck the rest of the way up the hill. He was hurt pretty bad. Poor guy had already had 4 back surgeries. He wasn't complaining about his back too much though. I think he was just in too much pain in general. It took Jacob and 3 EMT's to get him out of the truck. While me and another EMT to move the cot. He'll be ok I think but I'm sure he'll hurt for awhile. His truck wasn't as lucky and he's lucky the back of the dump truck hadn't came open due to the accident. If that had happened 17 tons of gravel would have came down on him. He'd never survived and it would have taken us awhile to dig him out.
Be careful out there. Watch where you are going. Pay attention.
