We live every day but most of the days of our lives are so ordinary that we cannot even recall what happened on that specific day. Our mind forgets the usual days on purpose so that it can store the other memories. We just have a handful of exceptional days which we can never forget for whatever reason it may be; good or bad. One such day was July 24th, 2018, when everyone present on a particular street of Chicago encountered an incident they would never forget.

Childhood Lessons

Since childhood, we have been prepared for emergency situations. Be it our parents or be it our teachers, everyone used to tell us about how in a difficult situation we should save ourselves as well as others. Remember the disaster management classes we used to have? It’s mandatory for every kid to attend it and why wouldn’t it be? After all, this is one of the necessities of life and the first step we all are taught about is calling 911 in most of the cases. But is that all that can be and should be done?

A Response From Departments

Calling 911 doesn’t mean that the help will arrive right away. There is a process one has to go through, at first, the call will be connected with any of the three departments: the police department, the fire department or emergency medical services. Then a qualified dispatcher confirms the emergency type, location and gathers a little more information like contact number and name of the caller before running into any action.

Nobody was able to think of calling 911 in this story, wondering why? Because everything was happening quite quickly and it seemed like there was very less time left on their hands

Kevin Jr.

It started with one fine day at least that’s what Kevin J. Russell was expecting it to be unless on his way back home he noticed something tragic on the street. He stopped his car on the way and took out his camera to record because he knew events like those don’t occur every day. But it wasn’t anything good that he was filming rather it was a scene of an accident.

A Different Country

Certainly, cops are here for our help and we aren’t supposed to get scared of that. But don’t we all know the kind of risk that might come with the cops? Most of the times, cops are assigned one or the other mission to accomplish which the ordinary people will get scared of; chasing the criminals, keeping an eye on the suspects. So, police officers are used to living a life full of risks and generally, most of the people prefer to maintain an adequate distance from the cops for these reasons. But again on this day, Kevin encountered the opposite of what we mentioned above…

The SUV

What actually happened was Kevin, who was waiting for the signal to turn green noticed a dark-colored SUV exceeding the limits and constantly increasing its speed. It all happened so quickly that before the traffic signal turned green, the accident had already taken place.

Fleeing From the Scene

Kevin drove in the direction of the accident to see if anybody was injured or anyone needed his help but by the time he reached on the accident spot, there was only one car and that wasn’t the dark-colored SUV but a police car. The SUV was already gone.
