Jefferson police dispatch called for additional personnel from Jefferson Rescue or Milton First Aid around 8:30 for a working CPR in Progress related to the accident... Was there a 4th person involved?

No, there was not a 4th person. Get the facts straight or be quiet. Actually that stupid 16 year old crossed over the lines, not Andrea. And I never knew that blood in the brain was a "non life threatening injury." What a disgrace. Jefferson police admitted to making a mistake in the report. Smh @ respirators considered non life threatening.

Neither of you have any idea what you are talking about. CPR wasn't performed on anyone. One of the victims was not breathing when medical help arrived but breathing resumed without the need for chest compressions.
