(No cyclists were hurt in this accident)
I was out behind my house yesterday evening when I heard a big crash, and went running out to the road. There was a car which had been hit very hard in the driver's door while making a u-turn. There was a girl in the driver's seat, pinned by the crushed door. She couldn't get out. She didn't hurt her head, but had low back/ hip pain. Her BF was wandering about out of the car, couple of scratches. The other driver was ok- he was in a big PU truck. I yelled at BF to call 911. He's a deputy- he came out. Meanwhile, all these people drove by and stopped:
EMT
Day off RN
Physician's Asst (lives across the street, it turns out) from Intensive Care
OR nurse on her way in
OB GYN doc
OR nurse on her way home
and me- x-ray tech very experienced with ER trauma
Good place to have a crash, I guess! (She's more or less ok. Cool seeing them Jaws of Life the car and extricate her.)
