Tax dollars at work!
When Highway Patrol investigated I doubt they even stopped!!!
Unbelievable.
Is everyone understanding this?
Last week a 911 call was made stating a collision had occured at the location near where the vehicle was found.
Highway Patrol investigated and could not find a collision.
A week later the family with their own resources hires a helicopter and searches the area...and the brother and Uncle find the bodies!!!
Is that what we need to do know? Pay for our own SAR.
How many people will have to die before we make people responsible within their jobs?
And they said that the car was only partially submerged.
Greta is asking the same questions we are about the distance and the whether there was daylight!
Said they stopped and there was no debris on the road in the location.
Likely they did look from the ground actually several agencies were likley looking. Weather may have prohibited a chopper search at that time though. A chopper may have been the only way to see it.
Close to where I live last summer a pick up truck went off the hi-way and down a bank. It was found about three weeks ago. The wreck was within a quarter mile of a VFD hall/ambulance station and a school. Thousands of cars passed the place including me several times.
I would question the 911 protocols more than I would the ones on scene. The dispatcher has the cell number of the caller and should in most areas be able to lock out the callers phone. Meaning the one who called it in can not call anyone else until the 911 center released the phone.
I've called 911 several times to report things the latest was a driver slumped over the wheel and someone outside the car waving like mad. Due to traffic I couldn't stop but I did have the mile marker down to the 10th of a mile. 911 called me back as did ambulance dispatch and the car was gone. It would be interesting to know if 911 tried to call the reporting party back.
I can understand how a car would not be visible there. A few years back I drove from Nags Head to I-40. Longest drive in my life it seemed through miles of swamp on either side. Spotting wrecked vehicles especially where no contact with another vehicle was made or skid marks left is a difficult task. I also understand hunters may use this area. Them pulling off and making tracks would add to the confusion.
