I’m no hero

today as I was drivin to work there was this accident that happened right in front of me, this guy totally hit this car, just T-boned the thing and flipped it over, it was the car right in front of me. so I got out and checked on the car that got hit, and there was a mom and 2 little kids in car seats. the 2 kids were screamin, but the mom was unconscious. I stopped for a minute, not sure who I should help out of the car first, but I figured the mom would want me to get the kids out first, so I crawled in through the window and started unfastening the little one in the back and got her out and sat her down in the ditch, then went around and got the little boy out of the car seat in the front. he had a big cut on his forehead and was bleedin a lot. some other cars had stopped so I told this guy to call 911 while I tried to get the mom out.

I came back around and tried to talk to her, but she wasn’t responsive so I checked her pulse and she was still alive, but she didn’t look good. the other car had hit her directly. I couldn’t get her seatbelt off, so I went and got the knife out of my jeep and cut it off and tried to pull her out of the car, but her leg was stuck under the steering wheel where the seat had been lifted up and had her kinda pinned in there. so I crawled around to the passenger side and got in and started working her leg free. just as I got it unstuck I heard the ambulance and they ran up and were able to pull her out of the car now that I had her leg unstuck.

the two little kids were still screaming, but a lady had come out of a house nearby and was holding them and trying to comfort them. the guy who was in the other car who had hit them was totally fine, he had gotten out of his car and was just sitting on the curb in shock. I think he was drunk. the cops showed up and I had to tell them like 5 times what happened, and they got the car towed away and the mom and the kids to the hospital. I’m gonna call later to make sure they’re ok. the mom didn’t look too good but at least the ambulance got there quick so they took care of her and kept her breathin and stuff… they left for the hospital, and the cops told me I should go ahead and go to work, they were gonna clean everything up. (I asked and they don’t really use coke to clean up blood off the street like everyone says they do. they use this bleach stuff.) so ya, I left for work and got here about an hour late, but once I explained what all happened, they were obviously cool with it.

 
 

man I wish some of that had been true. today would have been a lot cooler.

    Man, you don’t know me but I follow your Blog, but you had me going through the whole story. I’m torn between laughing at myself for believing it and really angry for being led like a pig to the slaughter…

    It was almost camp fire worthy…
