Thanks guys. Well no i did not literally run to the car. My car was also parked to the lane next to the accident, i could not see into the vehicle as so many people were crowding. I rolled down the widnow and asked if anyone needed help. I really want to get some sort of sticker on my car saying not to touch me if im in an accident. The people taht were trying to help were absoultety stupid. One man immediatly pulled the seat level makign the seat fall back extremely so that she was lying down for "better circulation". Another was attempting to break the front window to extricate her from the front end of the car legs first even though the doors were all working.

ahh tahnks alot pacman that was good help! sadly she did not survive as i read in the newspaper

hey guys im currently 17 years old with a wide knowledge of first aid, cpr and life guarding. just 2 days ago i was driving when i witnessed a car accident and immediatly said i knew first aid and everyone grabbed me to go and help out basically an old woman drove into the wrong side of the road after a left turn and crashed into a minivan. the only injured person was the woman driving the vehicle. basically when i ran up to the vehicle i made sure it was off and turned the e-brake on. ordered one man to hold her neck still and another to dial 911 she was lying there completly limp and unconscious, about 70 years old. there was a large pool of blood at the base of the seat, drool coming out of her mouth and no pulse. one person already at the scene said she just had a seizure. by the time i assesed the situation the paramedics had arrived as the fire station was 3 blocks away. im wondering what i did right, wrong and what i should do if the paramedics had not arrived for a while. even though i knew my basics i really eflt that i was not prepared. what woudl you have done in the situation. i felt that i was not as prepared as i could have been adn if this ever happens again i want to know what do. thanks alot guys!! :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
