This is a story a friend of mine sent me recently about a gentleman who was in too much of a hurry to go to an exit ramp on the interstate to turn around.

"Had a good MVA (motor vehicle accident) on the interstate the other day. Robert and our paramedic rolled on a two car MVA just at the entrance to the northbound rest area on I-75. There is a turn-around there that an older gent used to cross over from the southbound side to the northbound side. Some smart old guy along time ago said something about two objects not being able to occupy the same space at the same time; well it is very true. Both cars ended up on the east edge of the interstate fused together. The engine of the gent that we transported in cardiac arrest ended up in the center lane of north bound I-75 almost intact. The pt took his last breath as we pulled up. Rapid extrication with
manual c-spine and onto a back board. There were two people on the scene, an RN and an out county medic that assisted us. This guy is still alive up in
SICU (surgical intensive care unit) but may have very little from the chest down. What saved this guy was our 80 mile-an-hour trip southbound down the northbound lane. At one point I told Robert that we were going to die. -----an 8 minute scene time with patient being tubed (intubated), boarded and tied."

Basically these guys are doing procedures of near surgical difficulty while driving down the wrong lane of the interstate at 80 miles an hour. A hell of a way to make a buck. Smackhead
