June 3, 2002 - 3:00pm - Unit #11 was going northbound on 6th Street in Wood River, IL approaching Route 143 when she noticed a black Chevy van stalled in the middle of the intersection. 11 notified the Wood River Police department through their non emergency number about the stalled vehicle and that the occupants were attempting to push it into the nearest parking lot. 11 made her way to 6th and Ferguson and blocked off traffic so the two occupants in the van could push it into the parking lot. It took them three or four minutes to get the vehicle pushed into the lot. Just as they got it into the lot, a Wood River Police car arrived. The driver declined all help, stating that he was out of gas and was going to walk to the filling station, which is a block from the parking lot. The police officer left the scene. Five minutes later, the van was on its way.
