Paramedic Story

“Car 116, we have a report of a single car rollover…” – initial report…

On arrival at the scene, it was determined that the single car that had rolled over had in fact rolled over the barrier wall and down a steep/cliff like ravine… and had been carrying 7 people (only 2 who had been restrained).

It took us a little more than 20 minutes to find a path down to where the car had rolled down the ravine…

When we got there we found 2 patients deceased, 2 patients unconscious and 3 patients with only minor injuries.

The next two hours of adrenalin fuelled work in treating, extricating and transporting these victims was where we, as paramedics, earned the money our pay for all the many days that we had spent at station without any call outs.
