witness to a car vs pedestrian accident

10.05.06 (3:37 am)   [edit]
Amber and i were driving home in rush hour..... the car in front of us pulled into the turn lane and sped up to try and make the light. He hit a guy crossing the road....so hard. The guy flew up and came down on his head.

I ran up to try to help since I know first aid and CPR. The guy was awake and breathing so I tried to keep him calm and still. Another guy was translating for me since the guy was Mexican and we weren't sure which language he spoke.

He got loose and turned over.... He was so bad. His head was caved in on one side. His teeth were in a pool of his blood. His eyes weren't tracking at all and he just had a blank stare.

The paramedics got there really fast and took over. Amber and I had to give about 1000 statements to the police.

I'm still shaking. I don't think the guy is going to live and if he does I don't think he'll be the same.
