This is interesting. I have a
close friend who is a Firefighter/Paramedic with the Los
Angeles County Fire Department. David and I communicate on a daily basis. On
this particular night an emergency situation occurred in Malibu, CA that
required his services. A female CHP Officer was the victim of a hit and run accident
and was struck by a vehicle at approximately 9:15 PM [See the story below.] David
called me to relax and talk like we always do at exactly 9:15 PM, the same time
the incident happened, and I missed the call. Had I picked up the phone, he
would have been caught off guard when the call came through to the LACoFD.
Instead, he was alert and ready to roll out to the scene. When I didn’t hear
back from him after the missed call, I figured something had gone down and it
was confirmed when I turned on the evening news. This is what it is like when
you have cops and firefighters in your life. You have to be patient and
understanding at all times. The fact that I missed the call at 9:15 PM as the
CHP Officer got hit by a car at approximately 9:15 PM was no accident. What a
trip.
CHP
OFFICER ‘DOING BETTER’ AFTER BEING STRUCK BY HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER
NEAR MALIBU
Posted On KTLA.com May 26, 2016 At 9:15 AM
A
California Highway Patrol officer was “doing better” Thursday after being
seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash near Malibu the night before,
authorities said.
Officer
Flores was hit about 9:15 p.m. on Topanga Canyon Boulevard just north of
Pacific Coast Highway, according to CHP Officer Patrick Kimball.
Flores
was standing outside her patrol car directing traffic at the scene of an
earlier non-injury crash when she was struck by a gray Cadillac traveling
northbound at an unknown rate of speed, the CHP stated in a news release.
One
of the people involved in the earlier non-injury crash rushed to help Flores
and used her radio to call for assistance.
Flores,
a 14-year veteran of the CHP, was airlifted to UCLA Medical Center in serious
condition.
The
driver of the Cadillac, later identified by authorities as 76-year-old Prashant
Amin, fled the scene but was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run a few
miles away, according to Kimball.
Flores “appeared
to be doing better” and was in moderate condition as of Thursday morning,
Kimball said.
The
cause of the crash was under investigation.
