So what does that mean? That they can't get there at all? IMO, directing traffic at major intersections is more important that attending to a fender bender between two idiots that were driving too fast for conditions.
Besides, isn't there some kind of contingency plan for a minor emergency like this? Don't they have at least 5 or 10 officers that are on call at any given time?
It just doesn't sound too far fetched that within 30 minutes, an officer can be at an intersection.
But then I remember that we live in a city that openly admits that they wait for chinooks to clear the roads. Why would something like this be any different?
