c******n 发帖数: 5697 | 2 As she was driving through bumpy snow ruts on North Cannon Street, her 2012
Chevrolet Malibu hit a particularly rough one.
“At that very moment, the engine stopped and all the lights went out and I
had no power to anything,” she said. “The car coasted a short distance,
then stopped.”
She tried to turn the ignition. Nothing. She tried to pull the car door
handle. Nothing. She tried to pull up the door lock knob. Nothing.
She didn’t panic. Instead, she called her house phone, expecting her niece
to answer. Again, nothing.
“I started to leave her a voice message, then smoke started coming out of
the engine compartment,” Novak said. “So, then I call 911; where there’s
smoke there’s fire.”
She still didn’t panic. She calmly told the emergency dispatcher where she
was and how to find her.
“But by the time I gave him the address and where to send fire and rescue,
the flames were now shooting at least a foot up my windshield,” she said.
“And not just from one side.”
That’s when Novak started to panic. |
