Another mile up the road, I spot the same car in the trees of an exit ramp. I stop and find the mother (driver) had been ejected ....unconscious but alive. Her passenger (14 yo daughter) was still alive (luckily) and also unconscious. Daughters head impacted a solid pine tree that the car slid into. I remember crawling in the car and holding the daughters head/c-spine to prevent any further injury. It was the middle of summer and temps were nearing 100....it was hot as sh#t in that car. Daughter began siezing as the medics arrived...this is never a good sign. And it took, what seemed forever, for the medics and FD to respond.....probably 8-10 minutes from my call to dispatch....but that is about normal...it just seemed like forever. To the best of my knowledge, both survived......BY THE GRACE OF GOD. I always wondered and never followed up on it...how the daughter is doing because of her moms stupid driving.
About 3 years ago I was driving through Baton Rouge when 2 idiots on crotch rockets passed me. They were hot-doggin it through midday traffic like Han Solo through the asteroid field. They were passing between cars on the zipper and passing on the left shoulder. Seconds later, Baton Rouge PD lit em' up. I was laughing so hard, I woke up my co-driver!
I hope he hooked em' up!
