A civilian witnessed an e-bike collide head-on with the driver's front corner of a Chevrolet Suburban. After calling 911 and retrieving a personal IFAK, the applicator assessed two injured juveniles. The 13-year-old had a severe open leg injury with exposed bone and heavy bleeding. The ETQ was carefully maneuvered over the exposed injury, cinched, and the windlass tightened and secured before EMS arrival.
