Outstanding job---

How many others might have just driven off "not wanting to get involved"?

I was guessing deer. HJS157 and I came across an accident just like that. The driver was alone, at night, textbooks in the car. He was coming home from night school. 1980s Toyota truck. Roof crushed to the floor. He was dead.

We surmised a swerve to miss a deer.

Driver was lucky someone responsible was there who was paying attention, got involved, knew what to do, and did it.

Good job, SC!

Not sure what your religious beliefs are, Mr. Cockatoo, but...right place/right time? I don't believe it's by chance.

DIVINE.
INTERVENTION.

You will be BLESSED for your actions!!!

Very nice work! Good on you!!

How did you manage the wound or wounds and control the bleeding?

I am a first responder and am always interested in learning new treatment options and techniques.

This was one of the most horrible things I have ever come across. I do not with to relive what happened. I will tell you I need a new belt.
I wear a machinists belt for a reason.

Maybe one day I will share my witness interview that was recorded my dashcam.


I COULD NOT do your job everyday.

Completely understand.

Just fyi that many first responder organizations and agencies have ‘counseling’ services available for their members (and possibly Good Samaritans as well) should they need support to help process everything following a troubling event.

If it may help you at some time please do not hesitate to reach out to your local first responder teams. They may be able to directly provide support in this manner or point you in the right direction.

Respectfully,

Rob

SC... I want to commend you on 2 things, and these are very important.

1. You stopped - Most people are wrapped up in their lives and would notice or don't to get involved. They might have called but continue on their way.

2. You got involved. - Those who stop will stand back and watch, shooting video and texting people but not do anything to help the situation.

Everything you did after that point was beneficial to those involved. That is a very difficult thing to do when you're amped up on adrenaline having found yourself in an emergency situation when you're not used to it. Additional kudo's for keeping your cool.

Well done sir...
