Prayer Request Tough evening. Prayers please

tooge · 08-22-2012, 05:06 PM

On the way home from work, I was first on scene of a auto vs motorcycle head on. Motorcycle had a twenty something male rider and his 10ish year old little brother. Kid flew into a ditch and guy was in the street bleeding from his rear waist and arm. Both had helmets. Kid was pretty skinned up and I applied pressure to the riders wounds. Shooke up. Ambulance came five or six mins later. I don't know these guys but I have a ten year old boy so it hit home. The boy had baseball pants on and there is a batting cage up the street. My son and I go there all the time. Anyhow, prayers to these guys

Sorry to hear man. I was in a similar situation a couple years back - we came upon a guy who had lost traction and flown through the air, losing a leg on a road sign in the process - but that doesn't sound as bad as yours.

My guy lived, though, so I hope that the kid and his dad end up being OK.

Believe me, I understand. Running across a scene like that will shake a fellow up for a while.
Prayers to the unknowns and best wishes to you.

good job

Yeah - that sucks. Thanks for stopping to help. I don't. It ruins me for days/weeks - PTSD shit.

**BigMeatballDave** · 08-22-2012, 05:17 PM

I've never been in this position before.

I don't think I would handle it well.

This is actually a lie. I stopped for an idiot biker a few weeks ago after he slid about 100 feet and stopped at a tree. But there were already a dozen people there and I was just in the way so I got back in and rolled off.

It's been said but you're a good man for stopping to help. I'm a 20-something with a 10-year-old little brother who just started playing baseball (we played catch together quite a bit when I was home), so I can say that it hits close to home for me too. I hope that they're okay.

hey man, is the guy in your avatar the dude from Silence of The Lambs?

if not, it sure looks like him.

**bevischief** · 08-22-2012, 05:36 PM

Prayers sent. I have been through this about 3 times times I was still in grade school. The only times I had to go see the Principal's office.

I believe his name in that movie was Tucker.

And good on you for stopping to give a hand, tooge. You'll have a nice karmic paycheck on the way sometime soon.
