Yesterday, early evening, I was sitting and watching a movie with my 2 kids plus 3 from the neighborhood. My husband comes and sits with us just as we heard a loud boom. I looked at my husband and said what was that (as if he should know lol). He replied with the usual "I don't know". So I hopped up and ran outside to look. On the street 1 house down from me 2 cars ran smack into each other (nose to nose). My daughter came out (she is 6) and said "I called 911 do you want me to hang up?" I quickly said no and took the phone. I reported the accident, mentioned there was someone trapped in the car and that smoke was pouring out from under the hood. After I hung up I glanced at my watch. I timed the response. 3 minutes for 1 police car to arrive, 5 minutes for the firetruck, and 6 for the ambulance. BTW I live in the city and I am only 1.5 miles from the Police Station.
