Hey so kind of off topic, but did anyone else read this and think this might be a problem? - "Police arrived to the scene around 45 minutes later."
By itself? No.
It does not say "Police arrived 45 minutes after it was reported". From that statement alone we have no idea how long between the crash and someone seeing it and reporting.
Also that's police, not EMS. I don't really care if police arrive at all as long as EMS gets there quickly. They can always call for police too.
In this case that's fair, but in some cases, particularly attempted murders, EMS may have to wait for police to ensure the scene is safe for them to work in anyway. Not to mention most police have at least some first aid training. Police response times are also very important.
Did you read the part about it being very early in the morning? Who do you think is calling the police? The dead victims?
Come on. You must be a little smarter than that, it's all in the article....
I always enjoy when people lash out with 'you must be smarter' troll bait from a simple observation. Side note; I've stayed in Strongsville many times when traveling for work in Cleveland. It's not a huge burb by any means, and it's also not 'empty' or completely devoid of life. I certainly wouldn't think there were areas I could crash my car and not have anyone report it over half an hour. FYI I'm only replying to you to hopefully educate you. If you pop your mouth off with more trollish bullshit it's just going to be insta ignore. But by all means...
