112, everywhere in Europe

An accident on a road you cannot name, a phone almost out of credit, and a single number to remember for all twenty-seven countries: 112, at no cost, no credit required, with your location travelling along with the call.

Item no. 1

The crash in the bend

A cliff road in Slovenia, around 7 pm. Ahead of you, a cyclist takes the bend too wide, hits the gravel and goes into the barrier. He does not get up.

You are first on the scene. You take out your phone.

What you knowCliff road, end of the day

One casualty, conscious but dazed, shoulder against the barrier, the bike across the road.

Around you: the sea below, a tunnel behind, not a road sign in sight. You had never set foot in this country before Monday.
