Getting lost seemed to be the theme last night.

4 o'clock this morning the buzzer goes off. MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) on the southbound side of Suchandsuch Highway just after Somethingorother Interstate. We roll out just after the engine and the radio is all a-chatter with the 5 units responding to our wreck and another just around the corner.

Our engine drives right by the site.

Our ambulance (with me in it) drives right by.

So does a rescue squad and a batallion chief.

We don't see a thing!

Finally somebody notices that the "wreck" is a car in a ditch in the median that's been there for 2 days. The only difference is that it's night time and raining.

Yippee!!!
