Lane Closures Delayed EMS Response to 4 Calls in Fort Lee and doubled response time.

[RandySF]

North Jersey.com has obtained a letter sent by EMS coordinator Paul Favia to Mayor Mark Sokolich on September 10, 2013, noting four instances in which emergency medical services were delayed due to the lane closures. In two instances, response time doubled, including the case of a 91-year-old woman who lay unconscious for seven minutes, before paramedics were able to reach her ambulance. Heavy traffic prevented the paramedics from treating the woman on the scene, and she ultimately died of cardiac arrest after reaching the hospital.

Considering the woman's age, its seems doubtful that three and a half minutes would have meant the difference between life and death in this instance, but it may have. Regardless, the case illustrates the grave consequences Kelly's alleged conspiracy could have wrought.
