A Car length from a Crash

I stepped outside for a Smoke and Noticed Something odd going on Across the Street. Here is a Firebird sitting sideways a Foot or So Away from One of My Counter Guys Explorer.

The Lady who Runs the Motel calls me across the Street and Tries to explain to me what is going on and wants me to Handle this Guy who Plowed over the Curb and ended up with a flat tire in the bushes.

She does not speak very good english and figures I can Handle this guy better. So Anyway I try to Find out whats up and the Guy is out of it and says he had a Heart Attack. I ask her if she had called the Police and she says yes. I then Ask her to call 911 and Get an Ambulance.

As I talk to this guy and try to keep him Sitting in the car he Starts the Car and Tries to Drive. Here is where it could have gotten weird. I reach in and Turn the Car off and he settles down. Who knows what damage he could have done had he started driving again.

Finally after what seems like forever it was probably 10 Minites actually, The Emt, An Ambulance Two Squad Cars and a Motor Patrol Shows up and I Explain the Deal to the Emt Techs and Law Enforcement and I go back to work.

I decide to take a Pic after awhile so I can do a post and the Local Police see me doing this and Later Come to my office asking why I was Taking Pictures. I said Thats my Mustang over there And I wanted a Pic of How Close I came to getting hit. He says Ok and here we are.

On a Side Note I always Park in Either the 1st or 2nd Spot depending who gets to work first. I am Glad I was a Little Late today even though nothing was actually hit. Hopefully the Guy will be ok. It's Been an Interesting Day so far!

Cool, nice work. What would be the motivation of the cop asking why you were taking pics?

I really have no Idea. But all the Police,Fire & Emt People Did their Job just Fine. Perhaps they are Just Camera Shy!

So what would the police have said if you had answered, "None of your business!" Would they have tried to arrest or taser you? Seems kind of odd.
