Michele, the location was
Michele, the location was right under the Clinton Street Road overpass (Route 33). I drove there with the idea of finding a vantage point to take pictures of the scene. By the time I got there the fire department was starting to clear. It didn't even look like an accident scene. There was no apparent damage to the vehicle. Since the scene was clearing and there was no emergency activity, I didn't take any pictures. I spoke with somebody later who had been on scene and he said there was only very minor damage to the car from hitting the guardrail and that your father was transported before I got there. Sorry I don't have more information, but that was all I was able to observe.
Typically, we don't cover medical calls. After I saw the scene and got a little more information, we treated this as a medical call rather than an accident, hence no further follow up.
Thank you Howard. It was
Thank you Howard.
It was definitely a medical call my father had a massive heart attack on his way home from work. He just drove. Off road and hit the guard rail. We knew it wasn't a car accident because he had CDL license for a living and never had an accident. Sadly missed.
thanks again to all that were and lent a helping hand.
