my baby sis just told me about her night morning at work. sounded like something out of er, but its so much scarier and real in rl
she was called at 4.30 to the a&e where there was a girl screaming and screaming. and another one who wasnt making any sense. and omg,i was practically in tears when she was telling me. she told me how it unfolded for her. she was the most senior person there. no one seemed to know what was wrong with her, my baby sis pulled her back on the table, and heard the click of her broken leg. she had a collapsed lung. her blood pressure plummetedon the scan table. she basicallly had five things wrong with her, any one of which was enough to kill her. she was 14. unrestrained backseat passenger in a car that crashed into a tree at 100mph.
the girl who had been walking fine on the scene, was now babbling, she had head trauma, and internal stuff. i caant remember all of it. one of the girls died. the front passenger, who was 13, had his head stuck in the dashboard, died on the spot, the driver who was 15 died on the spot too. one of the girls died in the hospital, her mom, grandmother and sis managed to get there eventually, coz they didnt know who she was for a while. my ssis had to call the ambulance crew back to find out what was going on. they had had to cut the girls out of the car which was eight feet off the ground.
i cant even begin to feel what the parents must be feeling, but i am so upset by this. and its just kids being stupid. one of the things that upset my sis was that when she told the grandmother of one of the girls, she was shocked that death was a possiblity.
IF YOU HIT A TREE AT 100MPH, THEN you are bloody likely to die.please please tell you r kids this.
thank you for listening to me.
