I had a similar situation last week when 2 cars collided just after i exited an intersection (not due to me, i certainly hope), rolling one of them onto its side. I was not a witness (it happened behind me), and there were at least a dozen people who did see it happen, and at least 2 others were calling 911 before i even had my phone out. While i wanted to do what i could to help, I don't have any special medical skills beyond pretty old CPR training, and my kids would be getting off the bus any minute. It's hard to leave when someone needs assistance, but i felt i would be more a help by clearing out and meeting my kids at home. It's a good reminder to get back up to speed on my CPR skills though, it's important to know. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
