(HELICOPTER ROTOR WHIRRS) (INDISTINCT RT) Over my career, the traumatic scenes and the bad car accidents I've been to have been high speed, high impact. And the force that they've hit another vehicle or a post or whatever they've hit, it all comes down to speed. Even just a couple of K's can make a difference. That's the choice you make when you are the driver is the speed that you are gonna go. You're not only making that choice for yourself but you're making it for everyone else. HELP! HELP ME! HELP ME!
