On the way home I was behind a big semi that was swerving from one lane to the other. A car coming from the opposite direction was forced off the road and proceeded to drive on the grass beside the truck. When he tried to come back onto the highway the truck clipped him, turning the car directly in front of another truck. After the accident I got out of the car to see if I could help but there wasn't anything I could do. The driver was gone and the boy behind him wasn't moving, the two surviving passengers were screaming. The door on the passenger side was jammed shut. It was a nightmare! They were all about 16 years old.
I don't know why I'm posting this here, possibly because all of you have seen this scene so many times in your profession. I don't think I will ever be the same again. How do you cope? You never know when you get up in the morning what will happen during the day that will change you forever.
