Ambulance on the Scene

A quick story from my ambulance days:

We were driving down the highway and heard over the EMS radio that one of our rigs had crashed in a multi-car pileup on a highway innerchange. All crews and dispatchers breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief when the crashed crew came over the EMS radio saying they were uninjured.

It took only a few minutes for the news of the crash to hit the radio traffic reports. "There are several cars piled up on Highway XYZ," said the radio announcer, "But not to worry, an ambulance is already at the scene."
