I was driving down the freeway and a small truck and a small car were trying to get in front of me at the same time, they had there blinkers on. The small car lost control and was going all over the road mind you I was a small distant behind them and by the grace of god no one was near them when the car hit the truck on the side and the truck flew up the embankment and rolled over at least twice.
I had to see if everyone was ok the two young girls in the small car were walking around on their cell phones and the person in the truck was trapped but awake.
Do you know I was really scared for the person in the truck,but a lot of people stopped to help and talk with her.
I din't know anyone in the accident,but I told the officer what I saw and to make sure I did see this I asked my daughter who also saw it what happened and she saw the same thing and she is usally sleep as we drive to see their aunt but she wasn't at that time.
I know that the young girls called their dad and told them whatever but I know what I saw and told the truth to the best of my ability,I hope the girls didn't blame it on the other person because it won't look good in court and I believe their dad was upset with them because they were in the fast lane and shouldn't have been.
I just had to get that off my chest cause a lot of things that have happened these last two days have depressed me, god bless.

I think you did something that many would avoid, but I must say I'm glad you did it. There are so many times that there is an accident on the roads & nobody stops. I'm glad to hear everyone was alright and just hope those girls weren't on the phone when the accident happened. OUCH!

I think that you did a very good deed in stopping to see if anybody was injuried and an even greater deed to stay around and tell the investigating officer, what you had witnessed. Great job!!!

Well, I am sorry to hear that you've been through that. I can see why you would feel depressed. I hope all is well now.
