"Luckily it was nothing life threatening," Officer Mark McWilliams, who answered the call from the Barnstable Police Department in Massachusetts, told InsideEdition.com.

In audio from a phone call released by the Barnstable Police Department in Massachusetts, a woman sounded frantic when she was attempting to report a car accident.
She explained that the incident occurred between Muddiford and Ilfracombe, towns that neighbor Barnstaple in southwestern England.
McWilliams, the dispatcher responding more than 3,000 miles away, answered in a heavy American accent.
"Wait, where did this happen?" McWilliams said, confused about the names of the towns and road she was providing to him.
He later told InsideEdition.com, "I thought it was a joke. Is this one of my co-workers? Is somebody messing with me?"
Partway through the call, McWilliams even clarified, "You've called the Barnstable Police Department."

"Massachusetts?" she exclaimed in laughter. "[I'm calling from] England."
But, the American police department was willing to lend a hand anyway.
McWilliams even responded: "Our response time is going to be about six hours."
