I live on a long windy country road where drivers don't know the dangers. A Mazda hit a tree head on. The driver spoke to me...his name is Paul...he told me that Jeff was with him. I couldn't find Jeff. A passerby with a flashlight located him way under the dash...dead. When the ambulances came they had to remove what was left of the car to get them out. The motor of the car was inside almost beside the driver. Paul had blood running down his face and screamed in agonizing pain when they were removing him. What a horrible sight...will I ever get it out of my mind??

Sorry that you had to watch the terrible scene. If you not brave enough better dont go nearer the accident scene. You try to keep your mind relax, have a warm bath and everytime you start to think the incident, please do something as it will help you to forget it.

Everytime there is an accident which if frequently, I rush off, shaking to it. I hope that I can help if someone needs my help. I helped alot of people out on this road. This time it was just too bad. Those trees don't move. My heart aches for the passenger and his family. I ache for the driver also, he is in serious condition also. I am gonna try to hop in bed and relax for the night. It's gonna be hard, I keep wondering if the driver is still alright.

It's kind of nobel act, to help someone in difficult situation. Actually,I'm also like you, will stop and see wherever I found an accident. At one time, I hold a baby (around 1-2 years I think) whose ankle nearly cut off after involved in accident together with his father. It's very sad to see him crying and the peoples there don't dare to touch him. So I grab and hold him until the ambulance coming with the blood keep on flowing from the wound. Luckily the hospital is nearby only. But,soon after I went back to home, I began to trembling and shivering when the baby's crying crossed in my mind. It took me around two days to help me forget it. You also can be alright, just need some time. I'm just doing like that, whenever I remember it, I will doing something else to make myself busy so the memory soon will be gone.
