Or they got shot in a bad neighborhood and were simply driving to the hospital?

John, i'm glad you're okay buddy!

 

What happened when the police responded to the scene? Police report indicate fault of the Aztec? If they had insurance, its time to lawyer up and take the Fam to the chiropractor to be checked out.

 

 

 

that being said - if my friend was shot, I'd be calling an ambulance and not driving them....

 

And statistically, your friend would have less chance of survival if you waited for EMS to roll code depending on the wound location and severity.

 

In the Journal of Counter Terrorism & Homeland Security, Volume 12, No. 2, Ron Yanor of the Adamax Tactical Academy wrote an article titled 'High Risk Lifesaver'. In which he writes that a morbidity and mortality study done in Los Angeles County during the 1990's concluded that immediate control of the bleeding and transport to the hospital had double the success rate of the L.A. County Paramedics who begun treatment on scene and then transported.

 

Those in the EMS field know the term "gangbanger express" all too well, and this is exactly what seems to have happened to John. More often than not, the wounded is simply pushed out of the vehicle at the ER entrance before those who transported them takes off.

 

Obviously most people will never be in this kind of situation, but even the more preliminary training and the access to a blow out bag is leaps and bounds above nothing.

Ok so lil update.... We ended up with 2400 after the loan was paid off. Went to the fire station to get a report cause no accident report was written as of yet. What we did find out was kinda crazy. Turns out that we were the tail end of a tripple homicied agrivatted assult case that happens eairlier that night at several locations. The dude that ran from the scene was the driver of his moms Aztec who, around 5 or so in the morning showed up to the scene. We got her info and are waiting to find out if she has insurance or not so that we can hopefully get our 500 back from the deductable. Today we picked up a 1997 Honda passport with low miles in pretty decent shape for 2500. We also got a crap load of pain killers and muscle relaxers from our doctors to "help" the pain..... Lol. All in all a crazy story but thankfully everything is ok.

Much thanks to everyone who cares.

Wow...glad you're all okay. Lucky but not I suppose.

 

A "similar" twist of fate happened to me once at a blind intersection of a one way after a late movie. About 12:30am, my light turns green and for no reason, not distracted or anything, I didn't go right away. About 2-3 seconds later a full size firetruck flies through the intersection blowing the red with NO SIREN!!! - just lights which I couldn't see coming around the corner. In the tiny Starion my girl & I woulda been dead for sure. I was pretty shaken up after getting home, and called the station to complain em out. They said they had complaints about sirens waking people up late at night...in a town with train tracks through it horns a blaring all night every night! I was sooo pissed, but also so very happy to have avoided the worst. Try to focus on the positive. I hope you have insurance for that, and be glad you weren't in the SQ =P

Glad most everything worked out for you or is being worked out. If you don't mind sharing what intersection in what city was this? And not that I'm trying to really defend the "D" but this can and does happen else where.

Both

 

It happened near the motor city casion MLK and Lodge.

 

Scary, cause we decided to stick around the casino and play some slots before heading home. If we would have left together, no telling what would have happened. I swear we missed this by a few minutes cause we took MLK to get to 75 North. I'm glad you guys are okay and I hope the Lincoln treated you well. Let me know if I can give you guys any other help.
