In the 90s, when I was in college, I was actively involved in the local radio club. I was chatting with a friend of mine who is also a HAM, mind you this was before everyone had a cell phone.
I was en route to my afternoon classes after working in the morning. Chatting with my ham friend on our local channel, I took a fairly rural route on the way I came across a minivan that had overturned in a ditch. (Ford Aerostar for anyone curious). I pulled over and was able to assist the driver out of the van, but was not able to get to her kid in the back, but verified the child was okay, just scared. The driver however had a nasty cut on her forehead. I dug my first aid kit out, she was able to manage to clean and hold a clean gauze compress on it...
I got back on the radio, and told my friend the situation, he was able to get on his 2M, hit the telephone relay and call 911 and report the accident and the status of the occupants of the vehicle.
No idea what happened after the ambulance took off. The PD took my info as a witness to at least the aftermath, never heard anything about it, that was in, well had to be 1996 - 1999.
Good audio, Quality coax, sturdy mounts, good springs, and a big stainless stick get you out and give you ears!

needless to say, the fire was put out.
the incident became a talking point for some time and many CB'ers met that day
, p.s. i forgot to mention this was back in the 70's.
