Virginia–July 26, 2018, Jonathan's car collided with another, denting his car and putting his mind in a panic. He had become another victim to the incredible 10 million car accidents that happen each year.

Only seconds after the crash, jonathan heard a voice coming from the little crash detection device in his car. “Johnathan, are you okay?”

The AvantGuard operator who answered the call said about the incident: “My first job was to find out if anyone needed emergency help. I knew that if anyone had been injured, I would have to get in contact with the local emergency responders as quickly as possible.”

Luckily, no one had been injured in the accident. Jonathan was fine, as so were the occupants in the other car. It was a simple fender bender.

Jonathan said about his experience with his crash detection device, “I was amazed when I heard the voice come so quickly after the accident. Luckily I didn’t need any help that day, but when I do, I will feel confident knowing it will come quickly!”
