MTN's 112 Service Called into Question

Am I the only one wondering how one sees someone thrown out of a car in your mirrors (hence already behind you), and you're travelling on the high way - presumably at at least 80KM/h - and hear someone scream “He’s coming back, go, he’s coming back to kill me”?

When I'm at a robot standing still I don't even hear other people with open windows talking, although I can see that they are.

The article says the woman who tried to help "reversed as fast as" she could to go and help, presumably the rest happened when they were face to face and no longer driving.

I'm more puzzled by this:
I saw something out of the corner of my eye but carried on driving. And then, 100m further down, I looked in my review mirror

100m is a fair distance to observe that much detail in your mirrors while driving
 
I may have missed this but what is the rationale behind our decentralized emergency services model where you have different numbers for Police, Medical, etc? In the US, for example, you can dial 911 of your cat is stuck in a tree and get assistance, albeit billable.

Even more reason for a centralized call center service, ala 911

911 is not centralised , their calls get routed to 6000+ different call centres (PSAPs), those psaps will however coordinate with police,fire&medical services which is more effective that our crap.
