She jumped down next to Robert, and she felt for a pulse, but he didn't have one.
At this point, Kimberly knew she maybe had a couple of minutes here to basically revive Robert or he was doomed.
And so Kimberly, she worked immediately on stabilizing Robert's spine while one of her team members, one of the other first responders, jumped in and began doing CPR.
And then a third first responder hopped on the ambulance radio and called in an emergency medical helicopter to get here and fly Robert to a hospital as soon as possible.
They quickly got a response from the helicopter crew saying they were en route, but before the crew or any of the first responders could communicate any further over the radio, suddenly, out of nowhere, their ambulance just completely shut down.
Like, completely shut off.
The lights, the sirens, the engine, everything went completely silent.
And this was a huge problem because some of the medical equipment that they needed to keep Robert alive until the helicopter got here required the ambulance to be on to use it.
And so with the ambulance off, it was useless.
But in addition to just what a problem this was, this also was like really confusing to Kimberly and the other first responders.
Because when ambulances are built,
they are built with the idea that there can never be a situation where the ambulance just totally turns off, because again, it's like a worst case scenario.
And so they give each ambulance two batteries, a primary and a backup, so that if for some reason the primary dies, you always have that backup and can always use the life-saving equipment.
So the idea that both of these batteries failed simultaneously was like, how?
How could that possibly happen?
But before Kimberly or the other first responders could even begin to understand how that happened, something else began happening.
They turned and saw there was this woman dressed in this old, long, black dress.
running up the road, this desolate highway.
This woman is charging up the road, screaming at them.
And above her head, she's waving a Bible and she's yelling at them to, hey, let me touch him.
