Brag: I saved a kids life one time-sort of
This happened back in the summer of 04' but since I have just recently found this forum, the story has not been told.
It was mid-July and it was nearing all-time record temps for the Pacific NW ([censored] you global warming). Well here in Portland one way to escape the heat is to head to the coast, so that is what the wife and I decided to do. On our way down the I-5 a very bad accident happened in front of us. A little pickup got involved with a red suburban in a road rage incident. The were cutting each other off and yelling and the whole bit. The red suburban went to cut off the little truck one more time, clipped it, and sent the thing veering off the road. It ended up going end over end and ejecting one passenger. By the time I pulled over and got to the truck the driver managed to get out of the truck pretty much unscathed. The suburban did the responsible thing and also pulled over. There was still another passenger in the little truck who was hurt pretty badly. His window had been down (heat) and his head literally scraped on the pavement and ripped the skin off to the skull. Fuel was leaking everywhere and we (bystanders) were afraid of it sparking and catching fire and burning the poor kid to death (He was 20ish). So another guy and I managed to get him out through the windshield (the truck was laying on its side) and luckily it did not catch fire. The saddest part about this situation is that passenger I mentioned earlier who was ejected. See the truck, when it landed, did so on him and he did not die instantly. He suffered there for what seemed like an eternity. We tried to lift the truck off of him but could not. He ended up dieing there that day. Here is the kicker: The kid who died under the truck was an inbound freshman football player to Oregon State University. The driver was his uncle who was taking this kid, and his brother who I pulled out of the car, along with his belongings down so he could move and attend school/summer practice for football. Beat: I saw a kid die and could do nothing about it Brag: I sort of rescued his brother from the same vehicle. Variance: His life had they never gotten into the altercation with that other driver.

No they did not. I actually did not see the suburban clip the truck (view blocked by other cars) but it was quite obvious it happened. The problem was it had to have been bumper to bumper or something because there was no visible paint sharing. The last I heard, until the news stopped updating (yesterdays news is outdated I guess) was that the cops were thinking of trying both drivers for criminal negligent homicide or manslaughter. See I left out of the OP that these two cars were throwing things at each other during the altercation so both really played a role in the incident. No one else who stopped would say they acually saw the suburban hit the truck so either everyone who actually saw the contact did not stop or they were too scared to say anything.
