Over the years, I have rendered aid or attempted to render aid 3X that I can recall for accidents when I arrived very soon after the crash. The first was a motorcycle crash on a country road at night(before cell phones), guy was drunk and appeared to have a broken leg. I drug him off the road and got the bike to the road side. People that new him showed up very soon and carted him and his bike away and went on my way.
The 2nd was a bad single van crash in the afternoon. The guy crossed over a 2 lane road and hit a stone wall. His legs were pinned by the dash, I couldn’t get the doors open so just stayed with him until the fire department arrived.
The 3rd was tractor trailer that flipped on its side. I saw the cloud of dust ahead and knew something was wrong. I was about 15 vehicles behind, thankfully everyone else was paying attention and didn’t pile in. Truck was laid over on driver’s side. Before I could crawl up the passengers side the driver came crawling out. He was a little dazed but not hurt. Sat there for 2 hours until they opened one lane.
I’ll still stop to help if I arrive right after an accident happens but if people are already out I’ll keep going.
Gee you sound like the forest gump of auto accidents!
You have the gift of being able to stay calm and focused in emergencies. Not everyone is able to keep from being pulled into the panic. Some folks want to help but become paralyzed at the sight of blood or open wounds.
