Another Accident

I was woken up this morning around 4am by some guy screaming outside. Dad was up putting wood in the woodstove, and a young couple hit a patch of ice out in front of our house and smashed directly into a huge rock on our property. The guy was able to get out and scream for help, which is what woke me up (not the crash). Then my dad ran out and yelled for me to call 911 (whaaa? *in a daze*). The ambulance actually slid past us when it finally saw us trying to flag it down, so I know the roads were crazy icy.

The woman was stuck, they had to use jaws of life to get her out. The guy was in pain but could walk. They had a dog with them too but it jumped out and fled the moment the guy got out.

They blocked off the road with all kinds of flashing light vehicles. It took them an hour to get the woman out, and when they were pulling her out she was screaming in pain which sent chills down my spine. They are getting the vehicle towed now. I took a brief walk in the woods where I could see to see if I could see the dog anywhere, but nothing. If we can find him we’ll hold onto him and feed him until the owners get out of the hospital.

I’m pretty tired now, I may go into work late and let some of this ice melt and get this chill out of my bones.

Here are some pictures after I came back inside. They had already gotten everyone out and were just cleaning up at this point. You can see the huge black void in front of the vehicle, that’s the big rock they hit head on.
