The accident at Lake Sherwood was in our backyard. An SUV (运动型多用途车) had gone off the road,
down a hill, and collided with a tree. When we heard the wreck, I remembered to say "call 199". My family
was the first on the scene. Nick, my son, was on the cell phone with 911. He saw a friend who was a victim
in the crash who was a 15 years old girl who was badly disfigured and had died instantly. It was a terrible
scene.
There had been six people in the truck, all between 15 and 17 years old. My husband and I checked all the
victims, and I picked one who was conscious and stayed with him. I talked with him and had him lay on the
ground. When I asked him if he was hurt, he said he was sore all over. When help arrived, they asked me to
stay and continue working with them. I did as Debbie Romine,.my instructor, said in class, and did what they
wanted. They even said thank you before they left.
The sheriff deputies came by Saturday night to get our statements and play the 911 tape back, so Nick
could identify all the voices in the background. They said over and over that the way he handled the call was
the best they had heard in a long time. He was calm and worked with them even when he saw his friend who
had died. The Sheriff's Department is sending some people over to help us work through our emotions.
The first aid and CPR course I took in January really helped me. I just didn't expect to put it to good use
so soon.
