12:40 pm
it was just luck. just luck. >> the tractor-trailer comes to a halt.ç in his crushed car, ron powell is stunned to find he's still alive. >> i was over on the shoulder facing the wrong way, facing the opposite way. my face is bleeding really heavy and i was just, uh, what just happened? >> the driver of the semi gets out of his truck and approaches ron. >> he was actually the first guy to my car. he was like are you okay, man? i was like yeah, i think so. he's like man, i'm glad you're alive. i was like, me, too. >> not until after the crash did the officers realize ron powell's car is there. it's completely mangled. >> everybody's running up to me with flashlights and they were talking about potentially fatal, potentially fatal on the intercoms. i know what that means. i thought something was going -- i had to start touching myself like okay, i can wiggle my toes, wiggle my fingers, i think i'm okay. >> emergency responders take one look at ron's bloody face and assume the worst. >> we'll get these guys to help you get out.
12:41 pm
>> but they're in for a surprise. >> a firefighter guy had told me it's going to take 10, 15 minutes to cut me out the car, and i asked him can i climb out the window? and he let me climb out the window. then i turned around and looked at the car. it's like a giant just took it and squashed it frontwards and backwards. >> despite the violence of the crash, everyone's injuries are slight. even ron powell's. >> after they wiped all the blood away it was just superficial scratches. i'm pretty blessed and lucky to be able to walk away from something like that. >> at the station afterwards, the woman who officer eagler saved gets her chance to thank him. >> she just gave me a hug.ç that was a very neat moment. >> as brief as it was, their miraculous escape from the violent crash made a lasting impression on everyone involved. >> when i saw the videotape, wow. how lucky am i.

12:47 pm
that's just something he wouldn't do. >> i won't put up with you talking to my driver like that. >> i ain't listening to you, buddy. you get back in that ambulance you get your [ muted ] back in that ambulance or i'll take you in. i'm talking to the driver. >> paramedic white says he wouldn't let the trooper talk to his driver because he believed his patient would suffer from any delay. he tells the trooper about the patient, but the trooper persists. >> we got a patient in this unit right now. >> you want to go ahead and pull over to the side of the road when there's an emergency vehicle behind you? >> the logical thing to do would be to take it up at the hospital or take it up with us later. but he totally ignored my statement that we have a patient on board. >> you better get back in that ambulance before you get your butt to jail now. you understand me? >> after we take the patient to the hospital, you can take me to jail. we will discuss this, okay? >> paramedic white refuses to back down. his patient has fainted in her home and has a history of heart trouble. trooper martin tries to put the paramedic in handcuffs.
12:48 pm

12:49 pm
>> if he wouldn't have come out here we could have been on the way about five minutes ago, partner. now step back. >> the driver tries his best to defuse the tense situation. >> i'm sorry, i didn't see you coming. >> i was just trying to talk to you about it. i didn't need your manager or whoever it is in the back, paramedic, whoever happens to be in charge, to get out, okay? you understand? >> yes, sir, i do. >> trooper martin tells the driver that he plans to arrest the paramedic. >> he's going to jail. yes. you don't jump out and talk to a state trooper like that. you understand me? i don't care who you are. you're not running code. you're not running emergency, okay? all right? i didn't just get up behind you and turn on my red lights and siren. i've been going hot over here, you understand? >> yes, sir, i do. >> the video shows the ambulance wasn't running lights and sirens.ç white says that's because he didn't want to excite the patient. but now, that's a moot point. as a second officer arrives, the trooper goes to check on the

12:51 pm
ambulance to leave and follows it to the hospital. when they arrive, paramedic white checks in his patient, who is released later that day. the paramedic then turns himself in. >> i went back outside to the second trooper on scene and i told him that at this point, you can arrest me, i released my patient care to the nurse. >> but after everything that happened, white is never arrested. trooper martin did not respond to interview requests through ç his lawyer, but in a press conference, his lawyer says paramedic white delayed the patient by not letting martin talk directly to driver paul franks. >> the trooper martin's belief was if i could sit down and talk to paul, that we could have ended this very quickly. mr. white is trying to control the scene. >> paramedic white says the incident was a fluid situation and in the heat of the moment, he did what he thought was right. >> i did not deem it in the best interest of the patient to permit him to handcuff and
12:52 pm
arrest me at that time. >> paramedic white is suing trooper martin for violating his civil rights. the patient is also suing the trooper and the oklahoma highway patrol for negligence. trooper martin and the highway patrol are contesting the claims. >> if we allow people to get out of vehicles and try to handle the traffic stop other than the driver, that's chaos. >> the state of oklahoma gives trooper martin a five-day suspension and an order to report for an anger assessment. paramedic white believes trooper martin may have offered an explanation for his behavior on the road that day. white refers to a conversation he says the two of them had outside the hospital after the incident. >> he made the statement that i don't know how we got to this point. we worked together before. and i simply said i don't know how we got here, either, and he said well, i just recently came back from iraq. >> trooper martin had served in iraq and returned just weeks

12:58 pm
the teen consoles her as she waves an ambulance over to the scene. lambert is carefully lifted out and taken to the hospital. >> i realized that i am lucky to be alive. >> incredibly, lieutenant lambert survives the collision but he's taken a beating. he has a fractured pelvis, tailbone, a broken left eye socket. >> he has fractures in this bone right here as well as fractures in this bone. >> in the days after the accident, doctors say the 42-year-old lambert could face a year of physical rehabilitation. >> i do not remember much from the accident itself. but the next thing i remember is waking up in the ambulance. >> it's not unlike john to think of someone else first before he thought of himself. >> flash forward seven months and lambert is much improved. at an award ceremony covered by the local news, lambert is out of his wheelchair and optimistic about his recovery. >> my rehab's going good.
12:59 pm
i'm getting stronger every day.i my therapist and doctors are all happy with my progress. >> have you watched that videotape? >> yes, i have. i'm surprised i survived it. it's pretty scary, actually. but still as of today, i still have no recollection of the incident. >> lambert's difficult road to recovery is made easier by the generous spirit of his community. >> i've had a lot of prayers from a lot of different people, people i don't even know. i've gotten cards. >> the stories revealed by the dashboard cameras in this hour give us a window into the extraordinary and scary situations officers face on a daily basis.
