On my way to work his morning, I witnessed a horrific accident. A large SUV started fishtailing on the right side of the 55N Fwy, then swerved across the freeway, clipping a Blazer in the left lane.
The Blazer flipped over many time, almost bouncing as it rolled. I pulled over to the side of the freeway and looked over at the Blazer. I could not see anyone in the car. I got out and crossed over lanes to the carpool lane.
There was the driver, like a rag doll on the ground. It appeared as if the driver had not been wearing a seatbelt. A couple of others stopped to help (we all tried to call 911 - it was busy. Finally, one of us got through).
The driver was still alive. Someone pulled a blanket out to keep the guy warm. He had a number of contusions to his head and was bleeding (not severly however). Within a couple minutes, an off duty EMT arrived to help. A few minutes later, paramedics arrived and started full treatment.
This guy should live, but will be messed up for a while. I only write this to remind all of you to WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!
