A woman being threatened by her ex-boyfriend sped down a Sarasota (Fla.) street at 70 mph, trying to get away from him, and dialed 911 for help. Within 40 seconds of answering the call, the dispatcher heard noise on the line–the moment that Rebecca Provencher ran a stop sign and crashed into a Sarasota police patrol car, injuring the officer. Provencher was ejected from her car and suffered serious injuries, but she should survive. Police arrested the ex-boyfriend, Eddie L. Smith, who had pointed a gun at the woman and rammed her car several times. The officer suffered a broken wrist. The incident is similar to one in June 2008 when a woman being chased by her ex-boyfriend, and was then shot and killed in the parking lot of the Plantation (Fla.) police department. In that case, police said the dispatcher gave Olidia Day correct advice, but that the suspect was determined to kill her. Listen to the latest 911 call. here
