Description

Streetscape of a bloodied car crash victim on a stretcher being attended to by two members of the Hunton Lifesaving Crew. The yellow ambulance has "Hunington Branch Life Saving" on its side over a green cross. The back doors are open, revealing a first aid kit and other medical equipment. On the far left side, a blue car has crashed into a light pole, and there is broken glass scattered on the ground, and the pole in bent. In the upper left corner, a woman in a blue dress peers out of a second story window. Artist signed and dated bottom right corner. In the upper right corner, there is a circled "11".
