I was getting ready for work and hear screaching tires in front of the house. I look out to see a car spin backwards and flip 1.5 times landing on the passanger door right across the road from the front door.
So I'm running out the door yelling to Leslie to call 911. I get to the car and the hood is smokin pretty bad and the guy is on his head in the backseat with the seatbelt wrapped around his leg. The drivers door won't open (this is about the point I said Lord let me get him out before it burns) so I see the back window is broken out so I reach in and get his leg unwrapped. As I'm doing that all he is saying is I just want to go to Beverlys. And I finally get him to understand that he needs to get out of the car and I finally get him out and on the front porch. Luckly (or maybe devinely) the car didn't burn. The guy wound up going to jail for dui. I felt bad for the guy, his girl friend showed up after he called her and she said he was on all kinds of antidepressants and had bad anxiteys, panic attacks and other problems.
I was worried about pulling him out in fear of aggrivating any injurys but IF that car had burned I don't think I could of lived with that. The EMT's told me I did the right thing so that makes me feel better. And them thanking me seemed to help (me) a bunch to. The only visiable injury was a few cuts on his bald head.
The one thing I couldn't understand is the police made the guy do the stupid human tricks?
?? I mean come on the guy just ROLLED A CAR for cryin out loud. I dout I could walk toe to toe the way they want you to on my best day. He did reek of beer so they knew they was gonna give him the breathalizer .........why make him do the dumb tricks?
Anyway that was my high adrenalin rush for the year! Man I seem to be at my best in intense situations......Maybe I should be a repo man or a bounty hunter or something cool that puts the adrenalin to flowin? ;D
