January 2016 edit.. Old thread, posted an update on this post
--------
This girl that I'm seeing and I were driving home from an awesome day together and we came upon A traffic accident on the highway. We pulled up and they were already three other car stopped, but they were tending to a white suv. We got out and went to a van all fucked up in the ditch. There was an old woman in the passenger seat with the window up. She couldn't get the door open so I took my lighter and lit up the door frame from the outside and showed her the lock. She pulled up and I manage to wrestle the door open and then slide my arm in and unlock an open the van sliding door.
the driver, an 81 year old man was laying back in his seat snoring. his seat was laying back because I assume the impact of his body back against it busted it up. I kept talking to the woman while my girl leaned in and tried to keep guy still once he was awake. he was trapped in the seat anyhow, but kept trying to sit up and he'd moan every time, so she kept him somewhat cool, then all of a sudden his breathing got really shallow, and I guess he just went under there while my girl was talking with him.
They needed to cut the cars apart with the jaws of life and flew in some choppers.
I guess the woman driving the other car was drunk and crossed over the center line with a fucking baby in the car . The man we tried to help died on scene and so far is the only fatality.
Just sucks that some drunk bitch did all this when she could've stayed put for another hour drinking water or just not left at all.
the really messed up part is that just before we left we decided to piss even though we didn't have to. We were 2 minutes or so behind the accident, so it's likely that could've been us, and I was driving one of my older trucks with no air bags or whatever 
PLEASE, DONT FUCKING DRIVE DRUNK...... please.

A man died and four others were sent to the hospital after a two-vehicle crash Saturday night south of Brodhead, according to a release.
Officials responded to reports of the crash around 10:09 p.m. in the 300 block of South Highway 81, according to the release.
A Chevy TrailBlazer traveling eastbound crossed the centerline and crashed with a westbound Dodge Caravan, according to the release.
Officials said the driver of the Dodge, Antone C. Grawehr Jr., 81, of Browntown, died in the crash. The other passenger in the Dodge was transported for non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Chevy, Maquita Q.C. Stokes, 30, from Rockford, Ill., was transported by helicopter to Rockford and later arrested on charges of operating while under the influence of an intoxicant, according to the release. The two other passengers in the Chevy were transported with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officials believe alcohol and operating left of the centerline were factors in the crash.

Well, good for you for stopping and doing what you could.
Do you think this will effect you emotionally for a while or are you over it?

It was such a mess. So much shit everywhere. Tires, pieces of cars, carnage everywhere. It was like I was on a drug while I stepped out. Never experienced anything like that. It was like the world stopped and I was the only one left behind.
Sort of gives me the creeps thinking about the time from when I stepped out until I got to the van.. Plus it was bad and I didn't know what sort of carnage was waiting for me in the van

When I was 12 I saw a kid about my age completely knocked out of his sneakers by a speeding car. DEA before he hit the ground Probably part of the reason of my drug abuse . . .

Man, sorry to hear. Thankfully for me I think I'm going about things Ok... And as much as I don't like saying it, the fact that he was 81 may be helping me.

Driving drunk is something I'll never do. I mean beyond the stupidity of it, I know my luck and I'd kill someone. A lot of my family has/does drive drunk though.. My aunt just got out this year after doing 15 years for manslaughter. She ended up killing a family after she T-boned them while drunk. My uncle is doing a 10 year sentence now for multiple DUI's.. Actually this last one was while he was on parole for the last incident. My mom has nearly killed me and my brothers by ALMOST going over the edge of 50 foot interchange.. She was drunk and rammed up onto the side of it and for awhile we were on 2 wheels with part of the car hanging off the side. My grandpa drove drunk pretty much every single day for the last 10 years.. Dunno how he managed to never get caught. It wasn't like he was a little drunk.. I'm talking can't even walk, drunk.
That's just the tip of the iceberg too.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Do you guys think I'll get a call or have to go to court over this?
I didn't see it, nor did I tell the cops anything the woman told me when we were waiting. (that other car crossed line and they swerved. I thought the man had fallen asleep behind the wheel to be honest... At the time at least)
I don't mind at all, just curious. And my lady lives more than an hour away from where it'llbe held
