As a former volunteer FF and reserve deputy sheriff I can tell you first hand that these scenes stay with you for a long long time. There were times I'd clear a fatal scene and just sit in my cruiser in complete silence for 10 or 15 minutes so I could get my emotions back in check. The worse part was the death notifications. Man. Knocking on someone's door at 1am having to tell a young mans mother her son was killed instantly not 2 miles from home and having to catch her in my arms as she collapsed into a heap of tears. Holding her hand as she cried sitting on the sofa. There were several cases where after I finished my patrol I drive straight back to the family home to e with them usually it was a single mom or dad and they needed that extra comfort. I was only 24yo...I'm 40 now and after 20 years of that kind of work I had to move on even though law enforcement was my dream since I was 10 but it took an emotional and mental toll on me. I'm now self employed but I still think of the people who's lives I touched back then.
Thank you so much for your comment. It was quite insightful. I have often wondered how first responders handled fatal MVAs. Of course you can't find out unless one of them tells you and when would that situation arrive? So it is a wonderful sharing on your part. Thank you for your service, Sir.
rick david I can't imagine having to knock on someone's door to deliver that type of devastating information that you described. Thanks for being a great public servant. I pray that you have peace from the sad things that you've had to witness in the past.
Fellow FF here Rick, I never thought I would attend an MVA or emergency that would "bother" me until I got on scene of an MVA and there was as small child trapped. I was there prior to any rigs arriving (so no tools) I listened to that child take their last breath. And there on the floor was a pair of his sneakers. Right then and there I lost it. To this day I get choked up when I see a pair of children's sneakers sitting alone on the floor. That call was nearly 20 years ago.
@ 5:35...firefighter sitting on the side of the fire truck....broke my heart. The sights and smells these souls endure...no wonder their suicide rate and drug usage is higher than those of us who are protected from what they choose as a profession. Y'all have my utmost respect and gratitude.
Been there and done it too. 1974 was one of the first paramedics. People cut in half (front to back) decapitations, general death. But, you have to take care of it and continue on.
It's pretty sad she tried to murder innocent people. I don't understand why not hit a tree? Why intentionally try to hurt or injure others??? May god have mercy on her soul....Hopefully the 2 young boys made a full recovery.
@@cwatson42785 that's just ignorance. You think she did that on purpose? She, two other girls and I were extremely close, weren't blood, but definitely sisters nonetheless and I can tell you with up most certainty that her colliding with ANYONE OR ANYTHING was last on her mind. She had a few reasons for how and why she left where she left like she did and I can tell you that it was definitely not what you think. You see one side and just assume the worst... Even seeing a comment where someone says they forgive her doesn't mean that it's meant for the worst. It's because of her leaving drunk like she did and ultimately ending like that is why they forgave her.
Is very normal in Texas to be in accidents I been hit 4 times in a period of 15 years last hit I was tbone by a suburban and flit over my back still hurts after 2 years
nunya it was suicide. She was on drugs and had been drinking. She left suicide notes in the car and had turned off her headlights heading over the bridge and headed toward the truck at 70 mph. Sad. The cross is still there.

I'm going to guess texting or drunk.

Sounds more like attempted murder, her stupidity nearly killed innocent people.
She could have hit a tree or a thick concrete wall if she wanted to commit suicide by car crash.
@@MrGoogelaar nahh it was suicide brother she wasn't in the right mind
@@meghanyockey9903 Damn you're beautiful. Thanks for clearing that up. Sad she would choose to try to kill others when taking her own life.
We miss you MKay

I'm betting the young lady crossed over on purpose. That's a thing nowadays.
