  • Large multi car-truck accident

    Posted by dieseldoc on December 10, 2013 at 1:33 am

    I’m in the middle of the largest accident that I’ve seen in a long time! no one was killed and only a few injuries. It happened in front of my house on the interstate. I went out there right away and started treating peoples injuries. It was a 15 vehicle pileup! That’s me in the gray coat. Crash-near-Laquey-1.jpg

    I wasn’t there, but we had one recently on I-94, shortly after a winter storm started. One trucker lost it, and in less than 2 minutes, 46 vehicles were smashed together. 3 dead, scores injured. Rescue hampered by white out snow conditions, -10 with a horrid wind chill. Road was closed 24 hours for cleanup. Made news coast to coast. One of those tragedies that always seems to happen ‘somewhere else’.

    It is good you were there so fast, many people that are in accidents are so frazzeled they get into more trouble not getting off the highway.
    At Christmas I was going down the freeway on bad roads when a small car on the onther side started to slide . It went off the road into the wide medium and rolled several times . stuff was flying everywhere . The young lady had her seatbelt on and didn,t come flying out the windows with all her stuff. That seatbelt saved her life . It seems we have had a rash of people being ejected and die where we live. I always carry two wool blankets in my car and have used them several times at car accidents to keep the victums warm. The day this young girl wrecked it was in the low twenties ,she would have froze waiting for the emt’s without them. She ended up with minor injuries . It was amazing. I counted six times that the car rolled in front of me !!

    sure understand that. Sometimes we just have to decide to hurt for a bit in order to feel spiritually, emotionally in tact. Bet those people were glad you were there.

    I have not done that for such a long time. I’m glad I still got it, but I’m sure paying for it now. I hurt every were, but it was satisfying!
