As I pulled up to the scene, there was a stretch of police, fire and ambulance vehicles that blocked both sides of the street, about a quarter mile long. Firefighters were just putting flare sticks down and police had not yet begun their investigation. As I passed a few people standing on the street, I asked them what happened. Many didn't know and only one nurse stood idly by watching as fireman tried to free the trapped.
Two people were trapped in a small red car, which had flipped and landed on it's side. I was there, taking photos as the driver was freed from the car. A waiting ambulance crew took the individual into the ambulance to assess vitals. I could tell the person was conscious, but just barely.
Police soon asked me to back away from the scene as a Medivac prepared to land in a neighbors front yard. One officer threatened to take my camera, but after informing him of my rights, he decided otherwise. I then proceeded back to my car, not knowing if the second individual made it out alive.
