At around 10 o'clock a reporter for KCSG reponded to a car accident claiming a "Possible Fatal" for two victims. As I wrapped up the very end of our news cast I proceeded to find out what the status of the "Possible Fatal" was. I walk out the front door of the station only to see red and blue flashing lights coming from East Ridge Drive. Just above the Stripe mall. At first I was there to add my helpless reporter who decided that she was unable to opperate the camera and Gave up and waited in the car. I hurryed to the top of the hill anouncing myself as a KCSG Photog and claiming I was unable to find my reporter. (witch i was) But in doing so it gained me access to a front row seat to this car parked ontop of a boulder about 150 ft From the top of the road I was standing on. I havent witnessed anything like this before. And luckily I arived after paramedics took the victims to the hospital. After waiting around for about 10 minutes the crowd grew to large and an officer escorted us down the hill telling us to keep our distance. I was frustrated because I am a beginer at this whole PHOTOGRAPHY thing and I didnt get the greatest shots while I was close. so I ran back to my truck and retrieved my 75mm-300mm lens. This aloud me t be close but not to close. But unfortunatly I was very shacky in low light. But I managed to capture the story and give an update on the vehicles make and model to my reporter who LEFT and went home for the night. Long story short I was on the sene for about 2 hours taking pictures and gathering as much info as I could. But was only able to find out the make and model and that an additional car could possible be involved. I will be updating this story as I recieve more info.
