- Narrator: Drivers breaking traffic laws comprise the largest single violation for the Highway Patrol. Many times the driver is an ordinary man who, by his carelessness, is the cause of a tragedy. But there are some occasions when the man behind the wheel is more than a careless driver. Such was the case when, on November 7th, Officer Dillon was in pursuit of a speedster named Eddie Beekman.
- [as Officer Dillon chases the speeding car, Beekman takes a left turn and hits a young girl who had run into the street to retrieve a rubber ball. Beekman stays on the scene. Officer Dillon reaches the scene, surveys the situation, and reports to Highway Patrol headquarters]
- Narrator: Within moments, Patrol Headquarters received Officer Dillon's call, and an ambulance was on its way to the scene of the accident.
