Unit 12 was not in his own car and did not have any emergency signaling equipment so he didn't stop to help.

October 17, 2002 - 4:30pm - Unit #65 (with unit #02 riding along) stopped to assist a lady with a flat tire on eastbound Highway 30 just east of I-270. The driver told 65 she didn't have the tool in her truck to lower the spare tire from under the bed of the truck. She wanted 65 to call MODOT Motorist Assist to help her. 65 told her that since she wasn't on an Interstate, Motorist Assist would probably not respond. 65 called the Sunset Hills Police and they sent an officer to the scene. The officer also told the driver that MODOT would not respond. The driver called her husband to come to the scene to help her. 65 told the Sunset Hills officer that he would remain out with the vehicle. The officer then left and 65 heard him (over the scanner) radio to his dispatcher, "I'll be in service...there's a state vehicle with emergency lights on the scene and he and his ride-a-long will remain out with the motorist". Her husband arrived on the scene about 45 minutes later. 65 supplied him with his hydraulic jack and lug nut wrench to take off the flat tire. 65 then remained at the scene and kept his jack under the truck while the couple went to repair the flat tire. They returned 20 minutes later and put the repaired tire back on the truck. They thanked 65 for helping and left the scene.
