Chief McHargue was on the way to work on westbound I-10 that Thursday morning when he came across a stalled vehicle in the fast lane that appeared to have run into the center divider of the freeway. Initially he perceived it to be a breakdown, but when he approached the car he witnessed an unconscious female without a pulse who was “in respiratory arrest and was preparing to die.”
