Mob attacks Detroit first responders, damaging fire truck and preventing EMS from assisting fatal car crash victims quickly
A horrific car crash in Detroit led not only to the death of the driver but a vicious attack on the first responders who showed up to help.
Between 2 and 3 a.m. on Monday morning, Detroit dispatch received a report that a GMC Terrain SUV had crashed into a building near 7 Mile Road and Terrell Avenue. A dispatcher indicated that two people were "possibly trapped" inside the vehicle and needed aid quickly.
Firefighters, medics, and other first responders arrived on the scene "really fast," according to Shawn Ley of WDIV-TV. However, they were prevented from accessing the mangled vehicle and the people trapped inside by a large crowd that had gathered in a parking lot nearby.
For some reason, members of the mob were angry at the first responders and began throwing rocks and other objects at them. At one point, someone from the crowd even reportedly tore a piece of equipment off of a fire truck and used it to smash the fire truck's windshield.
