Unit Narrowly Misses Man in Middle of the Road

     

Friday, July 9, 2010 On July 7, 2010 our medic unit was returning from hospital. As the unit was going down a State Route we notice a tall black object in middle of 2 lane road. We swerve to miss the person that was trying to hitch hike a ride to Columbus. We turned around and seen a car avoiding the person in the roadway. We called into our dispatch to call law enforcement to respond. Upon talking to the person found out that he is mental patient and had alter mental status thinking in was in Cleveland. This incident happens around 4 a.m. This is lesson that anything can happen at any time of the day that can life threaten let alone damage a peice of equipment.
