Rsea: i got out of my truck and ran to the first car behind me

Rsea: to see if that person was alright

Rsea: the lady looked like she was ok

Rsea: i tried to open the door to help her but i couldnt

Rsea: so i broke the window and took her pulse on her neck she had one

Rsea: so i ran around to the other side of the car to help her out of the car

Anne: wow

Anne: i'm getting chills

Rsea: one side of her head was caved in with brains hanging out

Rsea: i began to puke every where

Anne: oh my god

Rsea: when the police got there they acted like i did something wrong

Anne: they never lose nerves

Anne: so this was traumantic

Anne: that's why

Rsea: i dont think so

Anne: what do u mean

Anne: then

Rsea: this is the kind of shit that makes me want to quit driving

Anne: yeah u know what

Rsea: she was white

Rsea: in Indiana

Rsea: a Honda Accord

Anne: and they didn't catch the drunk driver or what?

Rsea: Yeah they caught him

Anne: what nationality was he

Anne: and what was he driving

Rsea: he had a whole fifth of

Vodka some pills and mouthwash

Anne: it always astonishes me that the drunks never get hurt

Anne: he drank mouthwash you mean?

Rsea: he tried to run away through the woods but some people chased him down

Rsea: i guess he thought if he drank the mouth wash it would mask the alchohal

Anne: oh ic

Rsea: they wouldnt let me go for about 5 hours

Anne: why?

Rsea: i dont know

Anne: were you the only witness?

Rsea: no it was about a 10 car pile up

Anne: did you see her with her eyes open or closed

Anne: i wonder if they kept other people

Anne: and for how long

Rsea: i dont know

Anne: i wonder her name and age it's so weird

Anne: was she our age

Anne: this is sad

Rsea: no she was older looking

Anne: these people need to learn to stay or get a ride if they are drunk

Rsea: about in her 40s

Anne: and you said this was tonight?

Rsea: yeah that guy needs to go under the jail for what he did

Rsea: yeah about 6

Anne: that's why i am scared to be on the left side next to oncoming traffic, it's a game of trust with the other drivers
