I just saw a car wreck.. Options

[libertie]

I was driving home towards my mom's house and I honestly can't tell you HOW it all happened because it all went so fast. When the cars both stopped moving, the truck slid over into a ditch, upside down, and this little car was just completely demolished. I saw it happen and stopped far enough back to stay out of it, but there were no other cars around so I immediately stopped and ran out of the car to check on them. I couldn't get into either vehicle and no one was coming out of either one so I started yanking on the little car's door while calling 911. I was completely frantic and upset because there was nothing I could do, so I waited for the sirens and just kept pulling on the door. Finally I got the car door open and the guy inside sorta half turned his head to look at me (at least he was kind of awake). There was blood everywhere and I saw that he'd hit his head pretty hard, so I calmed myself down and ran to my car to grab my purse. I'd gotten this stupid travel first aid kit with a bunch of band-aids for easter last year, but more importantly it had a ton of gauze in it. I ripped every single one of those packages open for his head to make him stop bleeding. >.<

Finally the ambulance showed up and I'd been trying to get into the truck while still talking to the guy in the car to make sure he was okay. The paramedics told me that the guy with the head wound might have bled to death if he had waited any longer, and the guy in the truck was okay aside from a possible concussion. I called my mom at one point, but I was crying too much to explain to her what happened. It was just WEIRD. I stopped at my house in Arkadelphia rather than finishing the drive to Texarkana, for obvious reasons, I need to calm down. My thoughts are really jumbled right now and I know I'm not explaining this very well at all, but yeah.. hi cb, btw.

Yeah, I have a strange numb feeling right now knowing that the guy I was helping could have died. I don't even want to think that the small amount of gauze I pulled out of my purse might have helped save his life, because I'd rather think that he was well enough to wait for the paramedics and maybe I just helped a little bit. >.< But opening the car door and looking at the guy was the most chilling experience I've ever had.
