On Thursday, Florida 911 dispatchers got a particularly unsettling call from a 12-year-old girl. The child informed them that her mother had fallen asleep behind the wheel while on the highway. Along with the 12-year-old girl, there were two little boys in the vehicle, who were 7-years-old and 1-year-old, according to Today. The source of their mother’s unconsciousness was drug overdose.
The child’s 911 call was publicly released by law enforcement and it is nothing short of haunting. The fear is evident in the little girls voice as she explains to dispatchers about her dire situation and helps them to locate her and her family.
“My mom won’t wake up and we’re on the I-4 in the car. We’re in the grass and we’re close to a ditch. I don’t know how to put it in park,” the child said.
