Two Local Women Recall The Afternoon That Changed Their Lives
|

Caption described by Jessie as: OUR GUYS!! Mark Ryzac, Willy West, and Bill Scott. They were part of the crew who saved our lives.

Time and time again we hear of heartwarming and miraculous stories of firefighters and other first responders rescuing our loved ones. Do you have a story that demonstrates the great work done by those that provide us fire protection and emergency medical services? If you are interested in sharing the story of how first responders have helped you, your loved ones, neighbors and other friends, please email us at: info@ci.oakley.ca.us
Below is the story of Jessie and Kendra LaChance, as written by Barbara Santos.
They were on their way home from shopping. It was 3:00 p.m. on Friday, September 30th. Heading down the road back home, Jessie LaChance Mellan had a car full of passengers-her daughter Kendra, then 11 years old, and three neighbor friends. They were nearly home when, out, out of nowhere, a young man in a Mustang crossed the divider and came at them head on. The other driver walked away with minor injuries, as did three others in Jessie's car. But in an instant that terrific accident over a decade ago changed Jessie and Kendra's lives forever.
Trained as an EMT herself, Jessie knew how bad the accident was. It would take 45 minutes for the first res ponders to cut her out of the mangled car. She realized both of her legs were badly shattered. "I was sure I was going to lose my foot. My ankle was wrapped around the brake pedal."
