Car Wreck
Tonite on the way home from work there was a big accident just behind me on Riverview. Some guy, who i found out was quite drunk, tried to pass on a bend, but forgot to take the bend and went flying off the road, going into a spin, taking a lamp post right out of the ground, before coming to rest in a parking lot a couple hundred yards from where he left the road.
I was the second one there, and while the first guy (who was actually an old friend of mine from when I was really little) called 911 I ran to the car (which was completely crumpled). the driver had gotten the door open and was trying to get out of the car, he only made a couple steps before collapsing. There was gas all over the place so I picked him up and dragged him to the grass by the side of the road. He had a chunk of metal or glass in his forehead and he was all bloody, and was starting to lose consciousness. I talked to him for a while until the ambulance came. His friend was in a van behind him. His friend was handicap, (no legs) so was not able to get to the the car very quickly to help.
I had a cool chat with him afterwards, He was really upset, and mad at himself because he knew that his friend was too drunk to drive, and he had his keys, but his friend threatened him so he gave them to him. It was cool to talk to him about how things like this make us realize what is important in life. If you think of it....keep this guy (garry) in your prayers, I'm sure he'll be really kicking himself over letting his friend drive.(he already was)
anyways, the other sorta cool part about the whole thing was that my old friend from my childhood was the other guy who was first on the scene with me, so it cool to talk to him and see him again.
anyways, that was my evening, I head off to school sometime this week....still haven't decided yet...Looking forward to being in Calgary though.
