I saw a 16 year old girl die (long)

[ghostguy6]

So after a really long day at work, all i want to do talk with my girfriend. Im sitting at the light waiting to make a right turn because the turning lane is closed for so called "construction". Well anyways there is a heavy flow of traffic in front of me and out of nowhere this white chevy S-10 tries to push his way through traffic to make a left turn. He was speeding doing at least 100km/h in a 60 zone. the truck doesnt make the gap and plows almost head on into a ford tarus. Neither the driver nor the passanger in the truck were wearing seatbelts. The passanger a 16 year old girl was thrown through the windshield and rolled over the tarus and landed one the road. At this point i just throw my car into park and grab the first aid kit in my trunk and run to the scene. The gentleman parked beside me also does the same and yells to his his passanger to get a traffic vest and use the pylons in the back of thier truck ( work truck) to close off the road and funnel traffic down to one lane. The guy from the work truck goes and checks the driver inside the S10 and i go check on the woman that flew out of he truck, By the time i got there she was dead, her skull was fratctured , ill spare you the messy details. All i could do for her was to cover her body with a mylar blanket. The woman driving the tarus was ok dispite being in total shock. The airbag saved her life. The driver of the S-10 was unconsious and bleeding badly from the head, but alive. At that point the A fire-rescue truck shows up and (i think) the captain jumps out of the cab and asks me whats going on and i tell him "the girl is D.O.A. (dead on arrival), the guy in the truck is unconsious with sever head trama, and the lady in the car is in shock but apears to have no injuries" as i pointed to each person. An amublance shows up and rushes the guy from the truck to hospital. A cop shows up and starts talking with the captain and they both come to me and the gentleman from the work truck and asked us what happened so we tell them what we saw, he writes it down, doesnt ask for our names or to write out formal statement or anything. He just tells us "alright you can go" i got in my car, and just as i was about to pull away a fireman come to my window and said " that 16 year old girl, was dead as soon as she hit the pavement, there was nothing you could have done for her, did a good job." He patted my shoulder and walked back to the fire truck. Thats when i left.
I feel so bad for the parents of that girl, she was only 16, she had her whole life ahead of her. I cant imagine what it must be like for the one that has to tell the parents that shes dead. This may sound weird but in a way I wish i could be there to tell her parents that she died instantly and probably didnt feel a thing I really dont know if there i anything else to say

o man... thats horrible. i dont kno what to say, but i hope her parents are ok. also the driver. wow. so young

Thats really sad dude. But at least you did what you could, I commend you for that. If you need to talk, im on AIM as KustmAce

Damn sorry that you had to see that, kudos for jumping into action.

Well I guess it gives more reason for wearing seatbelts, too bad that young girl had her life cut so short for not wearing it and being with an impatience jerk driver.

BTW I was really into your post and then I noticed your sig. Its ironic how it summaries the whole post with so few words.

TS out.

I'm sorry that you had to witness something like that. I don't even know what to say or think. I just still don't understand why people can't get it through their heads to wear seatbelts. It's sad that stupidity kills people.

My grandpa and grandma run a tow truck business, so I know what it's like having to see something like that. I don't see it happen, but I see the results, and it's not something a person WANTS to see. It gives me nightmares thinking about some of them and how they ended up, so I can't even imagine what the firemen and EMT's go through. Like the others, I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

Man thats sad. I had that happen to my dad 2 past christmas's ago he was in his 89 honda prelude and made a left and a toyota pickup hit him head on he went right threw the windshield and was on the pave ment 3 lanes down. He lived but he has a scar from it. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT!

[Mediocrity]

I dont think I'd flinch if I saw someone got shot... It just seems odd to me that people are bothered by others dying... sure it's sad..

but sorry you had to witness it.

[jcz1987]

Sorry to hear you had to witness that. At least you did your best on trying to save her and helping the others who were involved. That poor girl had probably had a good future on her way.

[ghostguy6]

Unfortunatly im used to seeing things like this, it usually only hits me when its someone i know. This is the first time ive seen someone that young get it that i didnt know. Its just getting to me.

No, it just doesn't affect you like it does most people.

[Mediocrity]

meaning im insensitive to it :P

[2strokebloke]

That's why you wear your seatbelt. That's why you don't rush through intersections. This is why I hate large vehicles. This is why i hate impatient drivers.

it doesnt affect you because you arent mature enough to understand what actually happened. you are probrably the kind of person who thinks its cool to actually see someone get shot in the head or electrecuted in a chair
