What an amazing thing you did! Thank you! Be easy on yourself, it will take a bit to decompress.
As you were a witness to the entire crash you may find out about his condition. But know he might have been worse off had you not been there.
I saw a motorcycle rider flip right in front of my car. As I saw him take a lane change, then think better of it and go back I thought "this is not good, he's muscling the bike, steering with his arms instead of his body", I slowed behind him and put my flashers on and sure 'nuff .... he flipped out like a rag doll, bike and rider flipping end over end 3 times and landing by the side of the freeway.
This was a new or newer motorcycle rider and luckily for him he had allllllll the gear; full face helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, boots .... and luckier still the three people who stopped included an ER RN, a fire dept. captain who had enough in his truck to stock an ambulance including these amazing scissors which cute right through the bikers jacket![]()
I'm in awe at first responders, the RN and fire captain had never met and they just swung into gear as if they'd worked together for years. I just stood there and took notes as they expertly pieced together medical information and made calls as they ordered it.
I called the fire dept. later on, this lucky rider only had a broken wrist.
If you ride a motorcycle even a little one, take the class that's offered and wear all the gear. I've been told this rider did neither.
