Yesterday wasn't a good day. I left for errands and happened upon an accident that had just happened. I decided to get out of my car to see about a truck that went down a small embankment and hit a hill because it didn't look like anyone got out of the truck. What I didn't see was there was another car involved that was blocked by the truck in front of me (who drove around the accident and left).
I won't go over the details, but it was an unrestrained child with massive head and back trauma and a mother driving with crush injuries. I did everything I could until rescue came -- not much I could do though. He died at the scene. I won't say more because it's very upsetting and doesn't need to be spelled out.
Oh boy. It was so sad and hard. I was there for over an hour because my car got blocked by firetrucks. The driver of the truck was in shock so I stayed with him while rescue attended to the other car.
Life changes in a milli-second. Those poor people.
I didn't want to drive anywhere after that, but I couldn't turn around without sitting in the traffic again so I continued with errands. That helped wash out some of the feelings.
I leave it at that for today. It doesn't feel respectful to chat about other things this morning.
