    so... do you figure his wheels were cut like that because he tried to countersteer out of the roll-over, or did they cut over after the roll-over?

    Sad times.

    I'm curious why you did not stop to render assistance? If you stopped after the video stopped great, but it sounded like you were grabbing gears and gone.

    I counted 6 cars and one semi stopped, and at least 5 people running to the truck. How many more people need to be on hand to assist? I don't know if I would have stopped either, too many cooks in the kitchen and all that.

    Understandable. I am a paramedic when I am not driving, so it is second nature to me. Hope the guy/gal was OK, always tough to tell when they lay over on the driver's side.

    Well, I reckon if I were medically qualified, I would have stopped even if there were 100 people stopped to help. But I'm not...

    Thanks for what you do when you're not on the road... folks like you save tons of lives every year, and I have tons of respect.

    Simple enough. I don't have medical training past the Boy Scouts, so my first aid card is about 15 years out of date.

    Thank you for your support as well. I would do it full time, but it is sad that it doesn't pay as well as it should. I love doing it and will continue as long as I can, BUT it does not pay enough on it's own to support the family, which to me is sad. ANyway, another conversation for another group.

    Take care and be safe!
