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.

Thats a pretty life changing experience. Im sure the people in those cars were grateful that you were there. Im sure they were thinking, thank god for people like this. 70% percent of people would have probably driven off and not even called 911.

I doubt this.

I doubt this.

I live on a really busy road and there is a car accident at least every other month. You'd be surprised how many people will drive away... for the most part it's because the road is posted at 55mph and a lot of the accidents are more than just fender benders. No one wants to be a witness to an accident nowadays (especially if there's a lawsuit.)

In June when I was t-boned, everyone who saw the accident left. We in the middle of an intersection and cars drove around us. There was only one person who stopped, and talked to me because I was having a severe panic attack and the passenger in my car was hurt.
