Update
Today was my daughters 19th birthday. I take her out to lunch and on the way back witness a wreck. I had heard what airbags can do to you, but witnessed first hand what actually happens. The lady in the red car is turning left. At the same time a black car with a 19 year old girl is going west. The black car has the right-of-way and the red car smacks right into her and hits the left front of her car right at the wheel. Her tire blows out and knocks her around. Her airbag doesn't deploy, but the lady who hit her (red car) airbag does. The whole front of her blouse was scorched and she was smoking when she stubmbled from the car. It burned through her blouse, bra and all the way to her skin. She's crying. The 19 year old is trying not to cry and calls her mom. The car in front of us and my daughter and I are the only cars on the scene. We stop and are standing there like idiots not knowing what to do. There is no blood, but both people were knocked around a lot. The red car is totaled and the rediator is leaking everywhere. A nurse stops and begins to minister first-aid and we call 911. The traffic is blocked for miles in all directions. Some guy gets out and begins directing traffic. Finally 3 fire trucks, an ambulance, 2 wreckers and a cop show up. Statements are given, victims taken to the hospital and we finally all go on our way.
What an end to a birthday lunch!!!!
