I just got in from a roll over accident only 2 miles North of my house. Driver went to sleep or otherwise lost control, ran off into the median, overcorrected, and flipped at least 2 times. The two occupants that stayed in the car (seatbelts can be a lifesaver) in the front seat were scratched and banged up and will probably be very sore tomorrow. The other occupant was ejected (thrown out by force) from the vehicle. He was fortunate that he appeared to land in the grassy median which probably cushioned his next meeting with Mother Earth. However, one leg was broken (without doubt), he had severe lacerations to his other leg, and probably suffered some internal injuries. We secured his neck until the EMTs arrived and he could still move his arms and legs so that is a good sign. However, he has a long road to recovery.
So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, put those seatbelts on. I would hate for one of our family to come through so much to lose it so quickly. Soapbox closed (until next time--and there will be a next time)
Anyway, it makes mine and Harpoon's jobs easier if we don't have to go any further than the car to help someone .
Wear those seatbelts and,
May God Bless,
Danny
