I answered it with “Hey, Buddy, you back at school?” when a woman’s frantic voice on the other end interrupted me with “Who is this? Do you have a son who drives a yellow SUV?”I replied yes, a Nissan Xterra, why? She explained he had been in an accident. They found his cell phone and called the number listed as “mother” and that we needed to get to Memphis to the Regional Medical Trauma Center as soon as possible. I asked if he was O.K., and she said he was unconscious and being stabilized to be flown to Memphis.
