It was fantastic to watch the quick response from everyone yesterday. I hope the people in the car are ok and I'm sure your quick response helped to prevent serious injruies.

Thank you for the comments. The Clinton Fire Department and Clinton Rescue Squad work very well together. The Rescue Squad is among the best at responding to motor vehicle accidents.
