Rescue in the Amazon

My cousin Joyce, husband Garth and their daughter Amber with son in law Willy on a recent trip to a jungle retreat and canoe trip on the Amazon River encounter a serious accident enroute, here is Doctor Willy L's account

On the way to Banos, a military truck and 2 cars collided in front of our bus. 3 nurses and myself and several others ran out to extricate the trapped and seriously injured baby and 4 adults. Blood and shattered glass everywhere.....

 After we got the trapped baby and 4 adults out from the grey car, then the ambulances and fire truck arrived.

 

 

 2 adults and a baby trapped in the front, and 2 adults in the rear. Took us a while to get them all out, before the ambulances arrived. Our good deed of the day.

 

 

The extrication, rescue and medical team - 2 RN from Edmonton, 1 NP from Saskatoon, 1 pharmacist from New Mexico, the accountant and his wife, tour guide & our driver. Amber, and me with the appropriate T shift from June Grundy.
