A Florida man died earlier today after an urgent call to 9-1-1 was never responded to. Apparently, the motorist who stopped to help did not know the exact name of the street. So, as a result, no one was ever dispatched to the scene and the man died some 20 hours later.
USA Today: After Brian Wood, 55, crashed his pickup into a pole on Friday, he got out and sat down nearby. A motorist saw him on the ground and called 911, but since he couldn’t remember the exact name of the road, the North Port Police Department call-taker never dispatched an officer.
Twenty hours later, when officers finally arrived after a second 911 call, they found Wood had eventually died from his injuries.
