You obviously have no idea how emergency response works. The 999 call would have said something like ‘A van has hit a wall and a person is trapped inside’. 2 units from each of the services would not be an unreasonable response. Not only that, when a life is possibly at risk over reaction is far better than under reaction. If you had been trapped would you like to hear ‘Sorry, didn’t know it was like this, we need to wait for more people’. …… Didn’t think so!
