I encountered the scene of an accident while driving out of the city to rendezvous with a pal last night. I pulled over next to the vehicle that looks to have crashed onto a tree and got my trusty vehicle emergency kits out.
Having retrieved an emergency safety light and a travel safety alarm from the glove compartment, I moved to the back where a 4 in 1 emergency auto tool and a 9 LED flashlight were. I set some lights to flash for help next.
I wondered why the lady had stayed inside the car. Nearing the vehicle, I caught sight of a gash on her forehead and that she was responsive although pinned to her seat by the driver's wheel.
Remembering that my multi-purpose auto tool can be utilized to break car windows, I grabbed it from my vehicle emergency kits and proceeded to smash a back window so I could open the front door from there.
I soon discovered that the steering wheel would not budge, nor would the car seat. I needed a hand. I figured I could push her out while someone else pulled her out. I looked around; there were no signs of other motorists approaching.
Rifling through my vehicle emergency kits, I zeroed in on the travel safety alarm and tried another tactic. I knew its din was effective within a 9 feet range so I sounded the siren.
To my surprise, a pair of patrol officers arrived in their police car not several minutes later. They did not miss the flashing lights, they explained, and moved double time upon detecting the alarm sound.
The officers escorted the woman to their patrol vehicle and assured me she would receive immediate medical attention. I drove on, proud of my heroic act and grateful for the vehicle emergency kits that made it possible..
