So I'm sitting here bumping the board...As usual (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
This guy is pounding on my front door, telling me to call 911 because of a wreck with injuries just up the street. Small Toyota pick-up took on one of the faster sections. The truck was COMPLETELY WASTED. Multi roll over as it went through the trees and down an embankment. Don't drink and drive. ( I smelled the booze ) I grabbed my vinyl gloves, clean rags and the first aid kit. Went down to help the lady that was the worst. BLOOD everywhere...Embedded glass. Air bags saved them from worse. I put a cloth over the arm as the paramedics arrived. The driver was up and walking around, they put him on a back board just in case. The lady was sleeping and had to wake up to air bags, breaking glass and trees across the hood. They'll both be fine. This happens about once every couple of months on the vineyard lap. What was strange is that when I first came up to the lady, she was sitting up, holding the arm and smoking a cig... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) KT |

We came across a really nasty one a few years back. I think it was xmas eve and we were heading up to Mammoth to ski. A lady with a couple kids in the back seat and the entire tiny Honda packed with gifts was apparently pushed off the road by a pickup truck that came over into her lane (probably didn't see her tiny car and/or was drunk), and left the scene as she plowed into a concrete barrier. IIRC this was on the 14 or maybe 395.
She was completely pinned in the car; broken femur (the BIG bone in your thigh) protruding out of the flesh, and the dash and steering wheel crushed up to her chest, face all cut up, knocked-out teeth, etc. The kids were actually fine -- just bruised and screaming -- thank god they were belted in properly. We didn't touch anyone as the injuries did not look immediately life-threatening and the emergency crews were in route and arrived within minutes. It was a grim way to kick off the holidays... |
