Sound Story
As I’m driving home from work on a Friday afternoon, I’m looking forward to the weekend just ahead. I heard obnoxiously loud siren getting louder and louder. A vehicle then sped past me like a bullet. I then take a better look at this speeding vehicle and saw that it was an ambulance. I said aloud to myself, “I hope whoever that is for is okay.” As the ambulance gained a greater distance away from me, the sound of the siren began to fade.
About five minutes later, traffic in the road began to build up as all of the nosey people slow down to observe the car wreck. As my car slowly crept by I saw that same ambulance along with two police cars and a fire truck. The scene of the wreck finally came into my sight. I saw one car completely upside down and a SUV tipped over and laying on its side. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how these two cars ended up this way.
I saw two firemen using the Jaws-of-Life on the door of the car that was upside down. The Jaws-of-Life is a tool used by firemen to pry open doors that will not open due to them being smashed in a car accident. They then pulled the man in the car out and put him on a stretcher. He was then put into the ambulance.
The other man in the turned over SUV simply opened the side door that was facing up and climbed out. He seemed to be okay, but the ambulance crew checked him out anyways. Both of these people were lucky to be alive.
I saw the same accident as I was watching the local news channel on the television later that day. I was relieved to hear that both men were okay although they had a few broken bones and sprains.
