Come on - so thankful for the help at the wreck scene, but 23+ people and half a dozen or more response vehicles to a lone motorcycle crash? When is enough help enough?

First time i ever saw somebody complain about help showing up to a wreck. people complain about emergnency workers not showing up now too many showing up. what a shame. i guess you think they should all be babysitting dumpsters. i m glad for all our emergency people .thank you for what you do.

When it was called in, the caller wasn't sure what county they was in. Just knew it was on the hill. Thats why Chalybeate and Smiths Grove responded.

I LOVE Edmonson County's emergency workers, staff, and personnel, too. Just think other counties' personnel may be trying to "steal their show." No harm meant whatsoever. Sincerely.

Steal the show? Um, this accident was in Warren County.It's not a show. It's people trying to help other people. Most of them volunteers. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
