E. Hawke Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 *Pulling up on scene I angle and park 206 so that it blocks off traffic coming any further on N. 6th Street. I figure I'm about 100 feet from the crash and that's as close as I figure I should get. Flicking off the sirens I step out of 206 and key up my radio.* "206 on scene" *Letting go of the mic I get to work keeping people away from the scene.* Coporal Evelyn Hawke Unit 215 Shiloh County Sheriff Department Badge 1504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E. Hawke Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 *Repeating parrot time and I also question why Lafferty didn't block off traffic from coming north or south on Bay Street. Yeah traffic control is tedious but important, right?* 'Long night indeed if the morning is like this' *He was probably talking to himself but I did hear him.* 'Mustang with a telephone pole on it.

D.

Gotta love people who call 911 and dont give complete information. I’ll take care of shutting down Bay Street for now and move to the opposite side of the accident and try to redirect traffic away.’ *I say as I make my way back to my unit and reposition it so hopefully people won’t drive onto the scene. I then make my way to the other side of the accident and start motioning people to turn around and head the opposite way.* Edited July 7, 2020 by Lafferty Deputy Dave Lafferty Unit 204 Shiloh County Sheriff Department Badge 1117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. Hawke Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 *Shit did I say my thoughts out loud?

L. Cook Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 *As we pull up on scene I see we're at a T intersection where North 6th meets Bay Street. Hopping out of the truck I look around and wait for instructions. We'll even if we had instructions we can't do anything til the power to the telephone pole's wire are out.* 'Ok power people, how long does it take to shut off the power..' *I say more to myself. Looking at the wreck itself I see the pole had snapped and has fallen on the vehicle. With the way it landed on the car, well, it's a good think it's not a convertible Mustang. Looks like it landed in the middle so it's not directly over the driver's or passenger's seat. Well, okay.* 'So do we know if the power is out yet and how do we want to extract the driver?'
