I was told a child had been knocked over. There were two road ambulances, police car, police van & the SCAA. Car still there, I imagine doing witness interviews.

Don't know your location ? , but firstly let me quote ( Occam’s razor ) , Call sign for SCAA out of Perth/Scone is Helimed 76 and today before leaving message passed to Perth tower if that’s where it was when tasked changes to Helimed 76 Alpha that the message that would have been passed to the tower ,crews on Helimed 76 are inline with crews everywhere else in the country , so please no assumptions against the team on the alpha call today mode Sierra and squawk code runs my life .
