A newly revealed emergency dispatch call has shown responders scrambling to locate a sign language interpreter after a road crash that killed Kaylee Hottle, the deaf child actress known for her role in Godzilla vs Kong. The recording highlights the practical difficulties emergency services can face when a person involved in a medical or accident emergency is deaf or hard of hearing, raising questions about how well such situations are handled in real time.

Hottle, who is deaf in real life, gained recognition for her performance in the 2021 blockbuster Godzilla vs Kong. Beyond the existence of the dispatch call and the fact that it captured the search for an interpreter, further specific details of the crash – including when and where it occurred and the circumstances involved – are not included in the available report.
