DALE COUNTY:      6:56 PM      Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum, Dale County Sheriff Deputies, intercepted by Houston County Sheriff Deputies are escorting Ozark EMS from Dale County to Southeast Health.

In the Ozark EMS units, a two year old child not breathing. Without hesitation Dale County Sheriff and the Deputies intercepted the ambulance and escorting to Southeast Health, emergency.

The reason for escorting a ambulance with a critical patient the last thing the ambulance needs is to stop/start/swerve as they get through traffic while the Paramedics are fighting for this child’s life.

Imagine performing CPR, doing protocols onthe child such as IV and other medical procedures, as you are fyling around in the back of the ambulance.

Drivers hear sirens, slam on brakes directly in front of the emergency vehicle, fail to yield the right of way and travel through cross streets in the path of the ambulance.

7:02 PM  the ambulance and law enforcement escorts are at Montgomery and Westgate and turning left on Ross Clark around the northside of Ross Clark Circle to East Main Street.
