A startling Triple Play

From On Patrol Live:

Working on a book I have in edit mode, my wife watching TV, I thought I’d check in and see the Triple Play. On Patrol Live, the reality television show, hosted by Dan Abrams, with Deputy Curtis Wilson and Captain Tom Rizzo, is a regular staple in my home.

As I said, I got the feeling I should watch the Triple Play, where Wilson shows some thrilling footage, mostly of car chases with criminals on the lam.

I got up from my writing and stood in the livingroom. I was not ready to move my work location, so I perched by the nearby kitchen counter.

Wilson played an audio clip, a new thing to me. There was a constant captioning, and the story was breathtaking:

The speaker was driving his truck,whose brakes may have gone out. He couldn’t stop the vehicle, was on the freeway and crashed his vehicle.

The dispatcher on the line with him kept calm and got help for him.

The police came to rescue him, and he was trapped in his crashed truck and the vehicle was on FIRE.

The story is a great one, and since I can’t get the video to work…

I’ll provide a made-up transcript below of the call, to give the reader a better idea of the suspense:

Caller: My truck’s going faster.

Dispatcher: What do you mean?

Caller: My truck’s going faster, I can’t stop.

Dispatcher: Why can’t you stop.

Caller: I can’t stop. I’m going to crash.

Dispatcher: Where are you located?

So, readers, I managed to grab the video, and it is better and more accurate:

OPL is a GREAT show…
