Pa 380 southbound 2-17-2015

I had that happen to me going thru New Orleans around midnight back in the late 80's, a dude in a datsun pickup ran under the rear end of a tractor trailer stopped in the emergency lane right in front of me that wasn't pretty and I sure don't wish that on anybody. The truck driver was polish and was so shook up that he couldn't find his English words to talk to me or the police, the datsun driver died, my kind self who stopped to help ended up testifying in the law suit after his family tried to sue.

 

nice guys finish last, but i always stop if im first on scene....

 

I stopped once...when the driver of a mini-van fell asleep at the wheel, went into someones yard, woke up, tried to correct and ended up hitting one of those cement culverts under a driveway with the drivers side wheels. It looked like a Hollywood movie stunt gone wrong, landed upside down then tumbled over and over until he smashed into a tree. The only way I knew what kind of vehicle it was, was because I found the horn pad off the steering wheel in the middle of the road. 1 DOA, 1 badly wounded. Called 911 and it got reported as a truck involved crash and the cops were treating me like I caused it...until witnesses that were following him chimed in and said that the only involvement I had was to block the road at the top of the hill before the wreck to keep the scene secure until the cops arrived...and that was the last time I stopped. Had it not been for the witnesses I would have been proving my innocence after being presumed guilty.

This was 15 years ago, and I can still picture the dead guy like it was yesterday.
