Damn, thats one nasty accident jason. Im glad you both made it relatively
OK after all of that. Cars out of control care not very nice to the
people inside them.

Well, I honestly don't think I deserve or need any praise from my
actions. I did what I would hope everybody would do for me if I ended up
in their situation. 

I also wasn't the only one who stopped. There were a few other people
there but they acted like they didn't want to get involved or maybe they
saw me there doing all the talking and just let me be. I hadn't thought
about that until just now. 
The beauty of today's technology is that there were probably 50  911
calls made by passers by. (The freeway closed down from 6 lanes to just 2
from all the debris from the car and Iceplant. It took probably 5 minutes
to get a police unit and medics there but when your in a situation, time
stands still and it seems like it takes forever until help arrives. There
wasn't much I could do for the guy other than keep his girlfriend calm. I
had her applying pressure to his head wound which kept her busy and with
her boyfriend. So, I didn't do much really.
The replay of the cars headlights spiraling at, and then behind me, are
continuous. Weird.
