BUFFSCAN
Ambulance Crash is Example of Traversion Encounter
04/20/2023
Just after 7:00 PM I overheard a radio call for an accident involving an ambulance at Humboldt and Main and decided to document public safety response, thereby logging my first traversion encounter as BuffScan Node #1.
A traversion encounter is one we can define as becoming cognizent of a documentable incident during a BuffScan Noder's normal travels (in my case, during my home commute).
Although this particular event was detected over the police scanner, I would expect that in a post-radio-scanning-world, traversion encounters would be more direct and by nature, random. A BuffScan Node member must be ready with their camera or media hardware, and related documentation plan at all times for this type of encounter.
Audio Call of Driver
Although the ambulance driver reports an injured colleague, we can take from lack of any mainstream news mention this morning that, at least hopefully, the injuries were not serious. Granted my scan of mainstream news headlines here has been pretty cursory and perhaps it is too early after the matter.
