Rescue 911 - Episode 208 - "Daytona" (Part 1 of 2)

A paramedic is hit by a racecar while treating a patient at a racetrack. This segment was taken from Episode 208, which aired on November 13, 1990 on CBS. This particular version of the segment was taken from a 30-minute syndicated episode, so small parts of it may have been cut out to make room for commercials.

I know its not funny but when the dummy starts going airborne i lold bc i knew it was fake

[allgood2000]

@Thedancingqueen2000 It's not fake. This is the actual footage.

[DorvellTStewart]

Wasn't there another segment dealing with a racecar crash?

[allgood2000]

Yes, there was one where a Cleveland Metro Life Flight helicopter responded to an accident at a stock car race. That was a documentary segment. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I think some people in the pit crew got hit by one of the cars. I do remember that one of the patients died. There was also the one where a funny car exploded.

driver of 95 slick johnson ends up dieing 3 days later

[Buggy1Boy]

This happend 4 days before my 3rd birthday

@OMGvp Yes and No sometimes a crash is triggered when someone breaks the rules and other times they don't change their tires in this race Slick Johnson blew a tire and it created a domino effect that lead to his death when he hit the wall and a paramedic landing in the hospital.

[geomodelrailroader]

@ford9572 they did after slick died speed was reduced to 55 on the track and all cars were sent to the pit to avoid the scene of the crash. when Dale died in 2001 if a crash happens first yellow is thrown and then they send out red fallowed by black to stop the race until the wreck is removed and all drivers are required to ware safety harness's and neck restraints.

[geomodelrailroader]

according to NASCAR the Slick Johnson crash of 1990 was the worst crash in history this crash was outdone when Dale died in 2001 when he hit the same wall.

@allgood2000 Ya I think this one was also show "1000 ways to die" but then he was lucky. Scary

[ford9572]

@Dagger33 Yes they did change it about 8 years ago I think.

[msbforever]

when it crashes and flips- looks like the scene in Final Destination 4!

[Dagger33]

Did they change the policy of allowing race cars to cruise around at what looks like freeway speed on a "caution" flag while emergency crews work in the open? You know, because it's stupid as hell?

@Thedancingqueen2000 that def not fake

[callofdutyfan8]

Well I find it's a dumb Idea to let them pace with a accident this big they should've pulled the cars into the pits
