'He lost a lot of blood': Cop reveals harrowing ordeal | Ballina Shire Advocate
 When most people think of Highway Patrol, speeding tickets and RBTs often come to mind. But Sgt French said 'blood runs' were a little-known service the police and Highway Patrol perform on a regular basis. It's a service that literally saves lives. "We can deliver blood, organs, or in some cases a medical specialist in an urgent situation, but in rural areas, blood delivery is the most common," he said. Once the call for an urgent blood delivery goes out over police radio, Sgt French said it wasn't just a matter of jumping in the car and driving fast down a highway.
