I was on the way to meet my wife tonight after work for dinner. She was coming from Danville and I was coming from Plainfield. On her way to the restaurant she was rear ended at a stoplight. it was a 10 minute drive. After she called me, I made it in seven.
I saw the accident moving west on Rockville Rd. I pulled up in the westbound lane and saw an officer and my wife's mangled car. I stopped and said, "Sir, that's my wife. (pointing to the car) where should I park"?
Without missing a beat he tells me she's ok, and where to go.
Later during the investigation my wife, for reasons I can't explain, decides to inform the officer that she has a pistol in her purse. He just said "well, you keep it in your purse and I'll keep mine holstered and we'll all be fine."
I was standing there and felt that's the way it should be. Everything else went as it should.
They were all very professional and the Fire Department and EMS that responded were also fantastic.
Good Job, Avon.
