I have not seen the accident itself, but…
I was working in the XRay department as a clerk back then, when the EMT guys brought up a customer straight from ER. This was the first unusual thing, because that is normally not the job of the EMTs. The second unusual thing was the order form for this patient - basically any standard XRay-job on the form was selected.
And then, I was called in, too. Absolutely not in the book. Both EMTs, one of the two radiology assistents, and I had to don lead and hold this guy down. He had taken drugs, left his group, and hugged a driving trucks’ front. He had broken about everything you can have broken without croaking on the spot, and was so far away that he tried to hit and kick with his busted limbs at the people who were trying to help him. Imagine four men holding down one guy without damaging him even further.
Couple of drunk kids managed to ramp off a curb and get their car stuck like 6 feet up in an oak tree. Right side up. Front and back of the car were both smashed in right at the middle points so they must have got more air. Not sure how they got the car out without cutting at least one major tree limb but they did. Tree was still alive and fine as of 2023.
Car in a tree. I was working on an ambulance in the deep county, and the best we could make out, they left the road, hit a fence post that ramped them up, and landed on a solid branch 3 feet in the air. The car would bounce up and down as the firefighters forgot everything they knew about blocking and support and tried to get them out. The only thing missing was a hound dog barking at the base of the tree. It was delightful.
Not the most outrageous story but I saw two guys get into a head-on collision at 10mph. I still wonder how neither of them saw it coming.
Saw a minivan that was wedged under an overpass vertically with its front bumper on the ground.
