The 911 caller was distressed after watching his crash

When Savage’s Jeep Wrangler crashed into the tree, it was going at thirty miles per hour. A woman who made the 911 call to inform emergency services about the crash sounded rather distressed.

She informed 911 that the Jeep had crashed into a tree and no one had come out of the vehicle. However, she reported that it could possibly be a medical emergency as well since the car was intentionally steered out of the road before it crashed into a tree.

The reason why Lynn Payne suffered only minor injuries is because the Jeep wasn’t moving at great speed.
