Nature: Automatic Crash Notification
Address: 25029 Cannon Rd Millsboro, DE 19966
Cross Streets: Pelican Point Blvd W/Friendship Rd
On Friday afternoon, June 20th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company and Mid Sussex Rescue Squad were alerted for an automatic crash notification on Cannon Road near the Pelican Point development.
Automatic Crash Notification Technology is within vehicles and cell phones which utilizes built-in sensors to identify impact either from vehicle collisions and/or fallen or dropped devices that can be immediately connected to offer help. In many cases, emergency call back (9-1-1) centers attempt to make contact via phone to verify your location and the extent of concern. If there are no responses, negative responses or answers emergency first responders are dispatched to the GPS location of the incident.
Emergency response units from Indian River included Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facilty and Engine #80-1 from the Long Neck facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police. The Sussex County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was not able to make contact with the cell phone.
After evaluation of the area, all emergency response units were permitted to return to their respective quarters.
