I do have to say that the accident I saw last week was pretty disconcerting. Right in front of Cobo there was a nasty accident between a FedEx truck and an SUV that pinned the driver of the SUV inside as it smashed into a traffic light. Police arrived right away, and considering the auto show was occuring, I figured an ambulance would be there in 2-3 minutes. I watched from my office as the cop consoled the victim in the SUV for a good 12+ minutes before an ambulance arrived. The driver looked like he was going to be fine - and I know 12+ minutes isn't even that bad compared to other times - but this was literally in front of the auto show.

In a perfect world it seems like they'd just have an ambulance waiting at Cobo considering 80-100k people were there daily.
