T R A U M A.......................NOT!!!!!

Doug is taking care of little William. The little boy that was in the following accident. All William was concerned about was "where's my boots?"
The accident blocked both of the south bound lanes.

Here is Doug helping William put his boots on that were found. The picture below shows where the driver's son broke thru the wind shield so he could get to his dog. His mom was the driver and stayed suspended in the seat due to her seat belt holding her there. Doug was the only one there with his trusty pocket knife so he could cut her down from where the seatbelt had her strapped in place putting lots of pressure on her neck.
We were just driving down a long hill on the freeway minding our own business when all of a sudden we see this truck in front of us about 150 yards start swaying back and forth. The trailer must have really been loaded heavy as it started whipping the truck back and forth clear across both of our lanes. We watched the trailer go completely around and hit the front ot the truck causing it to tip over as it slammed into the concrete divider. We had to slam on our brakes to keep from running into it. I called 911 as Doug raced around the trailer to check out the people in the truck. Miraculously no one was hurt. The back of the truck was loaded with stuff that was strung all over the road. The firemen came and cut the wind shield with a glass saw so the driver could just crawl out.I was truly amazed that there was no other vehicles involved. Doug was sure hopeful to be able to use his skills, but no trauma today.
