a. С – Caller, D – Ambulance dispatcher
D Ambulance emergency. What number are you calling from?
C There’s been a terrible accident.
D OK, caller. Can you first give me your number so if we get
cut off, I can call you back.
C I’m on a mobile. It’s zero zero seven nine double three triple
six.
D What is your name and where is the emergency?
C I’m on Second Avenue in Newtown and I’m Alexander Petit.
D OK, Alexander. Tell me what’s happened.
C A lorry. It’s a tanker. There was this terrible noise. A big
crash and the shop wall fell down. The driver – he doesn’t
look good.
D Try to calm down. Now let’s take it slowly. You say that a
tanker has crashed into a shop?
C Yes. Is an ambulance coming?
D It’s on its way now, don’t worry. But I need some infor-
mation from you to give to the ambulance crew. Tell me who
has been injured.
C The driver’s been thrown out of his cab. He’s not moving and
I think someone in the shop has been hurt too. It’s Mrs Wil-
liams, I think. A wall has fallen on her and there’s a lot of
blood coming from her head. She’s not moving. The driver
doesn’t look good. My God! I think he’s having a heart at-
tack. Wait, I hear the ambulance now.
b. P – Police officer, N – Nurse
P Oh, Nurse. Do you have a moment? Could I have talk to you
about the accident last night?
N The RTA in Second Avenue?
P Yes, that’s it Can I speak to the lorry driver?
N You can’t I’m afraid. He died in the ambulance on the way
in.
P Oh, I see. Cause of death?
N Myocardial infarction. He had a heart attack. The ambulance
crew tried CPR but no luck, which is not surprising, consider-
ing his age and condition.
