Hello, I am the young woman in the beginning, giving CPR! I would truly like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all of your kind messages. It truly gave me closure to this! At the time of this accident, I was a senior in high school, training to become a CNA, and felt like I was not good enough at the scene. But reading all of your comments truly hushed all those thoughts like "what if I did not do a good enough job." Thank you all again, truly!
You sounded amazing. It takes a hole lot of strength of character to do what you did, I’m sure you will do anything you set your mind to and i wish you well with all your endeavours. Well done lady.
You were incredibly brave!!!! For the sake of many, I hope you continued your education in healthcare but I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t. You were amazing this day and I have zero doubt that you’re amazing every single day!!!! Love and respect ❤
I was crying as I read the comments towards you, 😢 you did everything you could 🙏🏽, May our heavenly Father bring you peace 🕊️❣️. I'm sorry that you had to experience that due to a driver that was intoxicated. May you continue your studies and God bless you.
I say this as a former firefighter and deputy, the young woman providing CPR needs to think about going further into the medical field. Even though she was upset, it didn't stop her from doing what needed to be done...that's what it takes to be an ER RN or Doctor. Good job!
@@MojoPup As a retired LEO, I agree. Being nervous or scared but choosing to step in to take action is a quality you either have or don't. You can't teach that. The world needs more people like her.
I went through the firefighting academy...my first ambulance ride along we were called to a severe car accident where the drunk driver hit a tree and ejected out the windshield...the dude's face and head were pizza and his nose was partially peeled off his face. We stabilized him and transported to hospital...I knew right then and there I didn't want to face the carnage and became a professional beekeeper...witnessing severe bodily injuries is not for everyone and that 1 event still haunts me 35 years later
@@youbetyourwrasse You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. It is never recommended to do mouth-to-mouth without a guard on a stranger and oftentimes, CPR with only chest compressions is even more effective because it allows the performer to concentrate all of their focus and energy on the compressions. The breath work in CPR actually does very little; it’s all about the chest compressions. You can’t restart a heart with just air, but it is very possible to restart a heart with just compressions. I would honestly only recommend adding mouth-to-mouth in any CPR case if you have other people willing to take over for you, because you will lose energy with those breaths that should be used to pumping the heart.
Wow she said she was a cna student. I remember those days that would be scary to be thrown in that position. She did a great job. I wonder who was yelling at her she didn’t say.
@@calicozy Not more effective, but will artificially pump the heart. Most effective with two people, taking turns, and with mouth to mouth. The second best thing is just chest compressions. "More" effective is untrue.
GOOD JOB to the young lady giving CPR! I've been a nurse for 38 years, and it's still frightening doing CPR on an actual person by yourself. Never apologize, you did a wonderful job!
To the woman who said, "I'm just a CNA," you are so much more than that. You had the character to help. Thank you. I hope one day you become, "just an RN," or, *just an NP," or "just an MD." YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. ❤
Dear Just a CNA Student, This is the reality of trauma. It can be awful and heartbreaking. You did what most can and will not. You showed courage and helped despite your fear. You did a great job. Keep it up. Sincerely, Just a Paramedic
This is so poignant & well said - tears started welling up when reading this simple but powerful message. I felt for that brave, caring & tenacious young lady. You are both so much more than “just” anything!! Stay safe & thank you for all you do in service to others, both of you!~
Even though he didn't make it (not her fault), it is still good to see kind hearted people like her willing to pull over and help. Last year I ended up getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and nobody would stop to help, then some car pulled over so I walked up to it thinking they were going to offer help but they had their window down halfway and as I got closer I heard them giving details about me like my car description and what I look like and what I am wearing and they rolled the window up and drove off as I got closer lol... I thought they were kind and going to help they just called the cops one and peeled out in my face 😂😂😂 The cops never came so I just sat there for hours and the people came back and parked like a quarter mile away in a driveway staring at me 😂
@@DIRTYBIRDYBEATScool so that’s when you call the cops yourself because that sounds like they were going to have someone kidnap you. If they were helping they would have told you they called for help instead of driving away.
As hard as it is for some people to hear, there are just times that no amount of effort will make any difference. That said, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything we can. There are some cases in which there simply is no help that one can provide. I’ve seen multiple cases in which describing the victims’ “injuries” could barely be considered “injuries”; that’s the point when a body is barely recognizable. Incidents like this, and the one in this video, don’t just end the lives of the deceased and traumatize their families; they also potentially traumatize anyone who stops to assist, first responders, and law enforcement, and anyone else involved. That woman had no clue, or in my opinion any care whatsoever, of any of this. She just wanted to serve her immediate wants.
To the young lady who is a CNA student....you are an amazing young woman, and so much more than you know. Sending you love, and light sweetie💗Sending the same love, and light to the victims love ones as well....fly high 🕊️
Man, I’m not a hugger but I just wanted to give her the biggest mom hug I have in me. She was frantic but she got to work anyway. I have GOT to get CPR certified. I think the city has courses…
I wish I could give the student who was basically a first responder on the scene a big hug, we need more people like her and less people like the main character
The spectrum of humanity on full display. Someone who cares so deeply she is concerned that she isnt good enough to help a stranger and someone who is so oblivious to life that she kills someone and doesnt care.
@@LazerFriday Did she actually realize she killed someone at all??? I’m seriously asking, I’ve rewatched this 5x and I don’t think she even has enough cognitive sense to realize it was fatal. I can’t hear all her words, so I was guessing if she realized what she did.
So with that officer seen a drunk mother crash with her 2 year old and said fuck that kid to police in 2010. I was 12 that was the saddest shit I seen didn’t say or worry about her kid after that.
I had to watch it 2 more times to hear it, but I heard it. It was a blonde hair lady, with the big dark pink purse walking by. You can barely hear it, but I heard it. Things like this makes everyone angry. I just can't understand why others just don't get it, like this lady. Don't drink/drug and drive!!
The driver's name is Christine L. Herbert. She was 48 at the time of the incident, 50 at the time of sentencing. She will be released from prison at age 64. The victim's name is Robert Pitts, age 74, of Port St. Lucie. He had been riding with his son, age 38, at the time of the incident. He is survived by his son, unnamed, and his wife, Maria Pitts. The estate of Robert Pitts, represented by Maria Pitts, is suing Christine L. Herbert and her employer, CleanSweep Vac LLC, for wrongful death, as Christine was driving a company vehicle at the time. The case is presided by Hon. Judge Elizabeth A. Metzger.
I hope you know they never tell this and I am speaking from experience You get charged with DUI and when you go to court, you will get added charges. And I wasn't the one drunk that night either. Screw the drunks and the cops, both alike.
That young woman made this 60 year old man cry. I spent almost 4 years in a rehab facility and felt blessed being cared for by young ladies like this. So many CNA's are there for nothing but a paycheck and I saw so much indifference on a daily basis. I saw a dementia patient sent to the hospital because the girl who was feeding her was in a rush and she aspirated her food. For someone like her it's obviously a calling and her crying so hard because she couldn't do more had me completely choked up
I absolutely know what you are saying, as an RN I have seen both sides of it. The CNAs with the passion for caring I encourage so deeply because they rarely see just how special they are. Most make less than they would at McDonalds to do 3x the work physically/emotionally. The truth is if we want passionate people in this role we need to start demanding it is paid its worth. Truly healthcare is in a desperate place and functioning on a lot of goodwill from workers. I am scared for the next 20 years as there is less incentive every year to enter the field.
@mariella2884 The one thing you have going for you at this point is the boomers are all close to the age they need help. That's 68 million Americans I was in a rehab facility for close to 4 years. They were hiring anyone with a pulse to meet state requirements for minimal staffing. Meanwhile the better facilities in the area were grabbing the better caregivers with bonuses raises and other incentives. The law of supply and demand holds true in your profession as well I felt blessed when I was cared for by someone like this young lady because people like her only accounted for 20% of the staff tops
I'm a hair stylist and I worked in a retirement community called The villages in Central Florida for over 10 years and I absolutely loved all of my guests and I stood up for so many of them so many times because I saw things done to them and it is not acceptable!! I contacted family members for them, I called on their behalf and set up appointments ECT. and I was told that it was that of my business... I don't understand people that won't protect another person it's just ridiculous😢
Yes I used to work in a nursing home in the kitchen. I’m 25 and in nursing school. Felt like the nurses and CNA’s would take so much of their anger and frustration out on me working in the kitchen but it was understandable because they were so understaffed, operating outside of state law, and had cranky patients as a result. I understand why people in the medical field stay away from nursing homes, and it’s not the reasons you might think. The patients have nothing to do with it. The management is terrible and you don’t feel supported as an employee.
Bless that student doing CPR, her voice sounds very young, people yelled at her and she still went into action. If you see this, you are a hero for giving what others didn't not. A chance.
Understand how relatives of the victim were upset and yelling but props to the woman for keeping focused and doing what was right. And the ability to update the officer when he got to her.
Wait... where in the video were people yelling at the young woman? And why? I heard the guy screaming but didn't think it was directed at the girl. Am I missing something?
@@paulsmith5725 Yea in my CPR/First Aid class we were told straight up that relatives tend to be pretty hostile/upset during traumatic events so you kinda have to take control of the situation even if it means physically separating a hysterical parent from their child
@@CarmenRCaruana She tells the officer that they had been shouting at her. It is a little unclear if they were just upset or if they actually thought she did something wrong or not enough or what have you. As a paramedic myself I can assure you, however, that it's quite normal to be shouted at during CPR. And it's understandable as well. You have to realise that the loved ones of your patient just watched him DIE in front of them. No thought after that is rational.
You are more than “just a trainee to be a CNA” You are a young woman of compassion, caring and courage “ May God bless you for whatever path in life you choose and give you comfort in the very tragic incident you chose to help out You are an example of integrity to your generation
That was the least of her transgressions. Taking multiple narcotics and then under their influence is much worse. This was not your everyday rear-ender.
Yep, SICK of people staring at their phones. I try to have board game nights here occasionally, and literally had to ban cell phone usage during games it got so bad. Let alone while driving.
YEah - I was rear-ended by a chick looking at her phone. After we pulled over she was mouthing "I'm so sorry" out her window. Yeah, I bet. Her dad handled everything - didn't want to go through insurance (he did pay cash for the repairs)....I bet this was not the 1st time she had an incident from not paying attention to the road.
I was rear ended. No injuries but the lady admitted she was texting. Destroyed a case of 150 year old family heirlooms made of glass i was transporting to my house as my parents were downsizing.
@ ahhh the ol' "i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry..." until they wind up getting comforted. A classic deflection tactic. (Yeah though, sorry that crap happened to u & yr car.)
Retired FF/Paramedic, i wish i could give the CNA student doing CPR a huge hug and tell her how proud i am of her. Working a traumatic arrest is a horrifying experience for anyone. Drunk Drivers anger me beyond words. Sadly ive seen this WAY too many times, its always the innocent people that pay the price My prayers are with his family and the poor lady sitting beside him
@@robinbaker6675I remember seeing that on Grey's Anatomy when Owen was giving that young girl instructions on the phone on how to do CPR. It's always stuck with me. When I got my certification, that's exactly how I timed it in my head.
I'm just curious, in the case of a life threatening emergency should you do mouth to mouth resuscitation even if you don't have a mouth piece? It's been awhile for me and I know the protocol changes so much from year to year. Thank you for your service.
I'm a little over 2 mins in and I'm in full on tears. The voice of the CNA just gets me. Ma'am if you're seeing this, thank you! Being in the field is much different. There are veteran nurses who may not have had the character you did to step into a horrifically tragic accident to save a stranger. You did all you could and we all thank you! God bless you! 💜 To this innocent man's family, especially the younger rider w/him, I offer my prayers and sympathy. May God hold you up. May grace move you forward , & mercy give you peace. 🙏🏽
That was extremely well said "may God hold you up, may grace move you forward and may mercy give you peace" that hit me right in the heart. Held her together tears wise till I read this 😭
I know how she felt. I witnessed a drunk driver hit a young girl in her car on my way to work. She flew all around in the car as it rolled over twice and she ended in the back seat. When the car came to a stop I ran over to see if she was ok. In the meantime the man got out of his car and started to walk off. The road was a country road with not much traffic, and before cell phones. I had to yell at him to stop and set down. The girl was knocked out and having convulsions. I was trying to decide how I could take care of her and keep the man from walking off when two men drove up. One got out and the other went to call an ambulance. The man that got out watched the man while I climbed into the backseat and held the girls hand and talked to her. I was afraid to move her because of back or neck injuries. When ambulance people got there I was so upset that I couldn’t do anything, but they reassured me I done the right thing in not moving her and just talking to her calmly. That made me feel so much better. When I finally made it to work the boss looked at me in horror and asked me what happened. I thought he was talking about me being late, but he said no, it was because I was covered in blood. I had no idea as I guess I was in shock. He sent me home thank goodness. The girls family got my name from the police and called me later and thanked me. They have sent me a Christmas card now every year for 34 years!
That lady should never drive again. A man is lying on the ground receiving CPR, and she's worried about scraped knees!! Absolutely oblivious. What a disgraceful person.
@@michaelw6277Which means absolutely nothing especially to a drugged up addict. She may not be able to legally drive but she’s definitely going to drive again if given the opportunity to do so.
@@michaelw627714 years. So like 6 years. I got stabbed in the neck with my back turned by a veteran on a bender He got 3 months in jail. AND he also got nabbed for armed robbery. Serving 180 days total. But had 78 days served before trial. Yup. 3 months. Armed robbery And aggravated attempted murder. That’s our justice system.
To the family of the man whose life was taken from him, you have my deepest sympathy! To the young lady (I believe she said she was a CNA student) who started chest compressions, you are amazing! Thank you! To those who were witness to this tragedy, I am sorry and hope you all are doing ok. To the officers on scene, thank you for your service! I don’t know how you do this on a daily basis. I appreciate you! And to the woman who caused all this heartache and suffering, may you spend your days/years in jail thinking about how your chosen actions killed an innocent man and destroyed a family! They will never forget what you did or how their loved one so senselessly died, but in spite of you and in time, they will move forward with their lives holding the memories of their loved one in their hearts!
To the CNA student. You bloody rock! You did an amazing job and there's a ton of people who believe and know you will do amazing things. To the self centered twit who decided to drive blitzed like that. May your days be filled with sorrow and regret. May even the smallest happiness be forever just out of reach.
That nurse trainee was so brave. What an angel. Edit: People getting caught up on my calling her a nurse trainee are utterly missing the point. Good grief.
@NPCHSN She jumped to help a total stranger with CPR in the middle of a crash situation, she's only trained and never done it on a human, her voice is clearly shaking from fear and adrenaline...I dunno, that's gd brave to me. I have no idea what your definition is.
I noticed that, too. Shaking his head and walking away, and she didn't ask about the victims once. Talked about that motorcycle under her truck like there wasn't just a person on it.
Drunk Drivers deserve NO Mercy, goes for driving high as well . I watched my little cousin get struck by a drunk on a grid road in front of me when I was 7, she was 5. The farm was very remote, yet adjacent to the grid road, we wandered off playing together one minute, the next I heard that car and watched her fly into the ditch. She was dead instantly, and at 50 it’s safe to say, I have been scarred for life as I can’t stop seeing it replay in my head over and over. Anyone please if you’re planning to drink, get a sober ride home, even a remote grid road can have small children nearby so it’s never ok, or safe to drive home drunk. I hope wherever my cousin is, she knows how much I love and miss her, I wish I could trade places with her everyday since, so she could have lived out her life. A piece of me died that day too, that I’ll never get back.
I’m so sorry. There are no other words I can offer other than I’m sorry and I pray for relief of that pain at least most days. I’m sorry something so horrific happened to you and her. 😢
@@numbxdrug I dont understand how the officers more than one said she smelled like alcohol but no alcohol in her system? Do you think that it was cleaning supplies??
Man, I've been an LEO for a decade now. You don't see too many people like the girl in the beginning anymore. What a hero! Hope she continued her career! To maintain your composure and do what needs to be done, alone, on your first scene! Most of us had a partner, crew, shift for our first times. To handle it on your own that well, when you're that green? I can't imagine how scary it was for her to act! What an absolute badass!
The CNA did a fantastic job doing CPR. You have what it takes young lady. I am a RN who worked ICU/CCU before my retirement. Continue your studies and good luck in your career.
Stop trying to follow suit on the other comments. You people are so unoriginal. Any other time you talk down on people who are CNAs claiming to be nurses.
@@ourcreativebeehive I recently was with my dad when he went through a sudden, dramatic, life-threatening medical condition, and though he ultimately survived that shit fucks you up. My heart goes out to the guy.
@atomic_wait Myself as well. My mom was not expected to make it. She's 67 and I lost my dad last year. This was a month ago and I have been suffering from crippling and debilitating anxiety, nightmares, I don't want to leave her side. I keep writing it off as just anxiety and that I'm being ridiculous and it's in my head, but your comment made me realize I need to be much more kind to myself. I've been through trauma and it's going to take a long time. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.
@Ena48145 Thank you, it was three close calls for my Dad in a row and he's not out of the woods yet. Massive aortic dissection, open heart surgery, the works. The rockstar surgeons definitely saved his life, people don't tend to survive what he survived. He's getting a bit better every day. I'm very sorry for your loss and glad to hear your mom is still with us. Hope she's doing well. Talking with people about my experience helped, I hope you find peace with what you've gone through.
The CNA did great even though she was obviously very panicked. Always admire people who can get straight to administering medical aid even though they're terrified.
"I'm just a CNA"... I'm not just crying... What a beautiful soul her talking about how they just kept yelling at her but she stayed strong and did what she could. I think many of us only hope we could do the same if we were put in the same situation!
I think many of us would do the best we could in a situation. I got hit by a car at ~70mph while picking up my emergency cones (I was a cdl driver) and the best the kind folks who stopped could do was keep people FROM rushing to help me (since you're not supposed to move folks who've been impacted like that) and to instead either call 911 or stand by because calls were out. The lady who hit me was a nurse, but she was a bit shaken up and not able to lock in. She was fairly surprised by the whole thing, because it happened in real life (she was on her phone driving down a busy interstate) so I can understand why she wasn't very helpful at the time. It is kind of ironic, though. Anyway I do believe people will do what they think is best in those situations, and I think that more often than not those people want to help injured folks. I think most of the videos taken are originally with that in mind, too, despite what is often portrayed online, after others have gotten their hands on it. I ended up mostly fine, idk how stuff wasn't broken but I do have some lasting spinal issues from it. I like to joke that it "runs in the family" since my dad had a machine fall on him at work, disabling him before I was born. People are good, in general. Not always knowledgeable or smart, but at least they mean well. I will never forget the 13 people who got out of their cars on the side of a busy highway to see if I was OK. That will always mean a lot
@@philipsmashmouth8782 My Nephew was killed by a DUI in Trump's America. The drunk that killed him got off scot free. I think it was due to the District Attorney's. Not to a couple of old men who don't know we exist.
My husband had a massive heart attack here at the house. I did CPR for 8 minutes, before paramedics arrived. I cannot describe the emotional roller coaster and exhaustion doing CPR is. My husband did not survive. I later thought to check his Apple Watch. His heart never beat once after he collapsed. My heart rate reached 178 beats /minutes during the time I was doing CPR. My blood pressure was so high, I never heard the sirens. This young woman did an outstanding job. Others may have taken turns to relieve her, if not, they should have. I had CPR training, but it comes far short of what CPR on a real person is like. It is physically and emotionally exhausting.
None of this needed to happen if that woman had decided NOT to drive whilst intoxicated. This makes me SO cross. If you want to endanger your own life, fine, whatever, don't care, but when you endanger and take other people's lives it becomes a totally different ball game!. At least she got something along the lines of a meaningful sentence, plus a lifetime ban. Something similar happened here in the UK recently and the driver didn't receive a lifetime driving ban. Absolutely deplorable. If you do something like this, you should NEVER get behind a steering wheel again, end of.
My hat is off to the young lady who said she is "just a CNA student." Honey, when someone needed help, you jumped in. You didn't freeze up. You didn't say, "Someone else can do it." You didn't say, "Oh, ick! I might get messy!" You've only practiced on Resusci-Annie, but that didn't stop you from stepping up to a real person. You are a hero.
@@NellyGandhellayou’re an idiot. Nothing about honey is degrading or sexist. Ever been to a Waffle House? I get called honey by 5 different servers. Smfh
@@cotyreed047360relax bro. Let them put their gloves on. The guy was receiving CPR. Let everyone protect themselves so they can help others. This woman was brave yes but first thing she will learn when she gets into the field is that you can’t help anyone if you don’t protect yourself first! Be lucky you have never been in a situation like this. Most people freeze and going into the bystander effect, you’d like do the same and not act. Don’t pass judgement on things you know nothing of.
@@cotyreed047360she was already there doing compressions. Step one is scene safety and step two is body fluid isolation. It would be stupid for her to stop compressions she was already in the middle of so someone else could step in. He was right in his choice
You are not JUST a CNA. You helped keep a man alive so he could be treated at the hospital. You will never JUST be a CNA, you provide very important care to those not able to care for themselves. You are so important to the nursing staff and the patients. Be proud of what you do.
@ he was dead on scene - there was no chance. The reason he was transported was likely because the EMS agency's protocols didn't allow for them to terminate CPR under the current circumstances they had on scene, or other similar factors. As a medic I can tell you we are all extremely familiar with how very rare it is to resuscitate a traumatic arrest - especially when it happened so quickly.
It’s almost 3 years later. I hope everyone on scene has a good circle of support. To the friend, there was nothing you could have done. May the Pitts family be healing. RIP Mr Pitts🕊️
All laws in general that is why we are so bad now. Nobody gets held responsible, they just get a court date and most of the time the court drops the case because they are "backlogged from the pandemic" then hire more judges 😂😂😂 You got judges on Zoom and still can't do any work lol
Penalties after the fact don’t do anything to reduce the offense from occurring. What hel-s are proactive programs such as requiring alcohol serving establishments to pay for a taxi / uber home for anyone that doesn’t feel safe to drive, prosecuting alcohol serving establishments for over serving customers/ allowing visibly drunk customers to drive, and treatment programs for alcoholics / repeat offenders.
@@cruisinguy6024people would have to want that help, or ask for it. They won't do that. Even if they had a paid ride home, I doubt half of the people would ask for it. They don't want to leave their car, they don't feel comfortable in someone else's car, etc. I was a bartender for over a decade, and probably only a small percentage of people actually think about the dangers of driving drunk. We did our best not to over serve people, we go through courses to get licensed. But there are some things you can't always keep an eye on, especially if it's busy, or if there are multiple people involved in the transaction. It's impossible to keep track of everyone all the time. And everyone reacts differently to alcohol. I understand what you're saying, and it would be great if everyone was honest and humble enough to request the ride, or help, when needed, I'm just being realistic.
@@DIRTYBIRDYBEATSare you willing to raise taxes even higher for more judges, more courtroom stuff for criminals? Trials, judges, juries, everything costs money. That's why they end up pleading people out so often. If everyone requested a trial by jury, which they have the right to do, courts would be backed up for YEARS. It's not always necessarily the courts fault, although I agree some reform should be looked into. Here's the problem. There are too many criminals. And criminals will keep committing crime if sentences aren't appropriate to be a deterrent. The sentences aren't appropriate or a deterrent because they're backed up, and they're backed up because there are too many criminals. See what I mean? You can't fix one without fixing the other first. I don't have the solution for it, and I don't even have an answer to my own question about taxes. Would it be worth it, would it work? It's a problem, I just don't have the solution.
@TexanTrad there is a TRILLION dollars "missing" from the white house, crime is up, they give illegal immigrants $3,000 a month+, give them food, shelter, clothing, they allow everyone to shoplift and cause our grocery and hygiene products and household items to go up in price, give other countries money, waste money on dumb stuff. But they can't afford judges and speedy trials? The problem is they don't hold anyone accountable, and the ones that get caught and actually show up for court is minimal.. If they had more judges and more court procedures going on instead of being rescheduled and put off, and thrown out, and they had harder penalties people would get tired of sitting in jail, or they would be there so much the penalties get BIGGER, and they stay LONGER. People learn, not all of them but if you don't do anything at all, this is what you get... Murderers and creepers roaming free and dudes from the Italian Mafia from the old days out now with TH-cam channels after taking many lives and only serving 10 years because they snitched... There wouldn't be so many criminals if you put a stop to their crimes and come down hard on them... Look at California, they had a bad gang problem in the 70's, 80's, and 90's and in the 90's when it got BAD, they started cracking down on gang members and started giving them "gang enhancement" charges for wearing the colors, hanging out with groups larger than 3 people, they started giving gang members bigger charges for organized crime, they started busting all the gangs and put so many in prison and jail that it definitely made a good impact. Gangs were no longer allowed to parole to California or their old neighborhood and it cut down on drugs, guns, deaths, violence, robberies, etc... Now gangs hide and try to stay under the radar because if they get caught they could go for LIFE!
Not true tbh. If she’s on Suboxone maintenance she’s getting UA’ed on a regular basis. Benzos stay in your system for nearly a week. It is not unheard of for somebody on Suboxone to also be prescribed Xanax; it just is not recommended. Nowadays, it is impossible to get a prescription without it being seen by the other doctors. It’s all digital, and narcotics require a physical paper prescription every month for refills.
@@Joseph-l6wNothing they said was wrong outside of the half life of benzodiazepines. Those aren’t hanging around in your system for a week unless you’re using it consistently daily. Everything else they said was spot on though.
My aunt died on her birthday this same way a few years ago. Woman texting veered into the right lane forcing my aunt to try to move to avoid her. Ended up underneath the car to her right. There was no time to stop. Thank goodness for this CNA & to those EMTs who tried to save my aunt. RIP King! 💕🙏🏾💕

Man, people really get in a twist over this. She's letting the officers know her qualifications or lack thereof. Also, a CNA is NOT a nurse. They are assistants to nurses.
@@maryd-nr2zh Nice try at making up complete bullchit and thinking people would say, "hurrr okie dokie" just because you correctly used a semicolon, but what you're talking about is called a CRNA. A CRNA student needs to already have an active RN license to get accepted into the program and would never, never call themselves a CNA student and certainly never "just a CNA student" when they are already fully licensed RN's.
@@maryd-nr2zh You're thinking of CRNAs, which are very different. CNAs handle the grunt/unpopular work of nursing like cleaning, feeding, changing, and toileting patients, and it's a physically demanding job that is often underpaid. Very different from anesthetizing patients
Suboxone for her opiate addiction, Xanax, a benzo for her “anxiety” and alcohol. Are you kidding me? She deserves way more than 14 years. You killed someone, seriously injured someone else, and traumatized so many people with your actions. Way to take your sobriety seriously…..not. And to the young cna student. You are a hero. This ER RN applauds you for your bravery in the face of serious adversity, CPR is no joke and in the presence of physical trauma, it can be quite disturbing. You’ve got the stuff needed to keep going in the medical field if that’s your dream. Kudos galore to you!
To the woman who said she was just a CNA student, I can only imagine how scary this was. But you are not just anything… whoever you are… you jumped into action, you helped, you stayed calm and did perfectly despite apparently being yelled at. I’ve been “just a CNA” for quite awhile now. I was young and a new CNA when I had to do CPR on someone I knew who was unresponsive to a severe asthma attack. Luckily it wasn’t a traumatic experience like this one. Unfortunately a few years later he passed from a different asthma attack, but I was lucky he survived mine. I pray this girl isn’t traumatized from this and she continues in whatever she is planning on doing in the medical field. And if it’s being a CNA, god bless her. We need compassionate, good CNAs, if it’s nursing, a doctor.. I hope she continues. I also hope she opens up and talks to someone about this bc she sounded very shaken. I hope she was checked on. And I pray for the victim and their poor family. Losing someone in this way… so senseless.
I am a nurse and I would never survive my/our days without our CNAs. They are the glue that holds our team together. I could not survive my shifts without them. You did an AMAZING job and you will NEVER be “just a CNA”. You rock and did such a great job. Are you going into nursing?
@ ur so kind. That was the original plan, I am in my 30s now. I had my first son young and was in a relationship in which I wasn’t really… able to work towards much, as embarrassing as that is to say. A few years ago I left that relationship and I’m working on my self confidence and starting over. I love what I do. I absolutely love patient care. I work in a hospital that is connected to a nursing home and so I get to do both, some people don’t enjoy working with geriatric patients in a nursing home setting but I do so it’s nice to use hospital skills and care for residents. But it’s hard bc I’m supporting my Two boys on my own financially. And so… Im looking Into what I can do schooling wise where the work load won’t be too bad. Im kinda frozen atm and I just need to figure it out. Everything I love to do doesn’t pay well lol or I’m afraid I’d never make it through the schooling 🫣 sorry.. that answer was probably more than you bargained for lol And I work with so many great nurses, I appreciate great nurses. I work with one who just became a nurse, she’s 24. She is the greatest. I love her so much bc for example when someone comes down after a surgery and she asks me to go do something for them or tells me we need to watch out for something she will tell me specifically why, and what complications could come from what we’re trying to avoid… it isn’t just a blank command. I think she does that for both of us bc she’s wanting to retain it, and I truly appreciate it. And she will ask me things like… how did I come off after speaking to a patient? Or when the nurse that’s been there for 34 years is being extremely condescending and rude to me she will come and check on me and tell me she appreciates me or says things like “I love working with you bc you’re so competent.” That sentence means everything. Nurses are the greatest. I tell her all the time how much I appreciate her not only for me but for the patients. I’m so lucky to work with a few of the best nurses. Another has been a nurse for many years and she will leave little notes at the end of our 12 hour shift thanking me for making a hard day great and it means everything. I couldn’t imagine not being in health care. Thank you for what you do. Just you commenting to me, I imagine you make your team feel appreciated.
This is so heartbreaking. I have absolutely NO sympathy for people who choose to drive impaired. It's always innocent people who get seriously hurt or killed. Prayers to his family and friends.
They're ALL SELFISH‼️ it's about ME,ME,ME........I HAVE TO GET HIGH BECAUSE MY LIFE IS SO MISERABLE........POOR ME‼️‼️ I am an RN.......... I KNOW........ I have been working Detox/Residential inpatient facility......... I see it‼️
God bless you sis! Sending love and prayer your way too! Losing your significant other is a pain that even new love doesn't replace. Lean on God's unchanging hand. 💜
As a former CNA student I give this young woman a lot of credit for stepping in such a traumatic situation,and even though she was clearly upset and nervous She didn't let that cloud her mind or sidetrack her from the matter at hand and she stayed focused and thinking clearly and that's not easy to do in such a high stress environment!! My brother is a paramedic so I know how chaotic a scene is especially when you have a victim that's very hurt, it can get very hectic very quick!! And I come from a family of doctors and nurses and firefighters,and this young woman showed such great strength and character in this moment and I think she's going to be a wonderful addition to the health care system!! And you are not only a CNA, and don't ever forget that!! I wish you continued success in the field and I hope you keep continuing your education because I think you would be a fabulous RN or doctor, or any position!! You work great under pressure and I know that the family has to be incredibly thankful for your quick action to do all you could to save their family member, I know it must have been incredibly scary and traumatic, And I'm so sorry for that,but you did a great job and stayed focused and communicated with the first responding officers really well,and let them know what was going on and where you were at in the CPR progress, very impressive!! I wish You all the best!!
I immediately started to cry when the lady said she was “just a CNA”. I’m taking the course now and just the regular activities are scary performing on an actual person in clinical, and not the dummies we use in class. So her having the leadership skills to help a dying person says soooo much. I doubt I’d have the courage. She deserves so many props.
To the young lady who took it upon herself to help try to save that mans life...I can only hope to be half the human you are someday. The courage it takes to jump in and provide life saving support for somebody completely helpless, in an incredibly scary situation is not teachable. That comes from the deepest depths of your makeup and you should be infinitely proud. I hope to God that you continue your career in the medical field. I know if I was gravely injured, or in trouble, I'd want somebody like you coming to my aide. Bless your heart.
Poor woman (the student). Her voice made me tear up, you can feel her panic but also her strength. In that moment, she knew she didnt have time to break down. Afterward, I pray she was consoled and told that despite the unfortunate passing of the victim, she did her absolute best. That will stay with her forever.
This young lady is a shinning example of what it means to be a medical professional regardless of the letters that follow her name!!!Like everyone else to hope she adds all those initials after her name because That day, when she was needed the most she rose to the occasion and became part of what makes each of us pursue the training needed to honestly help those around who need just one of us to be the best we each can be!!😇
I was once, "Just a CNA." Then I too ended up witnessing and having to render aide in a crash and became a RN,BSN. Now I've delivered babies alone on nightshift, kept kids on ventilators alive through long lonely nights, and saved other lives. She'll be a great nurse or MD one day. She functions in the right way at the right time. It's only when she tried to speak you could hear the voice Crack. Thats how we all feel doing CPR. Then we go cry for several hours once our butt's hit the drivers seat in the car after shift. The nurses I did one round of clinical with in PICU would say the highway next to the hospital was bathed in their tears from all the drives home w the tears streaming. That young woman who did CPR is 100% cut from the right cloth and any hospital system will be lucky to have a nurse of her caliber on their floors! I really hope she was inspired to continue education and save so many lives which will also make this man's situation not in vain.
She really does, she THOUGHT her boyfriend was in the truck with her! Who TF was she texting with while out of her mind on Suboxone and xanex?!? There should be additional time added for distracted driving! She sounded like Boomhuer from King of the Hill, all those tears were for her addled brained self!
@@aaadamt964her taking drugs and drinking alcohol before deciding to drive is NOT AN ACCIDENT and yes she should be in prison for the rest of her life . She took a life !
As an EMT, I hope that young lady who was "just a student" sees all these comments. She put aside her own panic to help and went into work mode which takes incredible resilience. Keep going girl - you're what the medical profession needs 💚
And she had only just learned CPR a day or so before! THAT takes courage on top of resilience, and she just kept right on doing CPR despite others yelling at her for doing it.
This video prompted so many emotional reactions-concern, respect (for the CNA and officers), sadness (upon hearing the son’s despair in knowing his dad likely wouldn’t survive), delight (officer’s “new dad” reflexes “I’m like Spider-Man”), horror, disgust, rage, incredulity (that she had taken a Xanax and another drug that “makes me sleepy”), and partial satisfaction (with her 14-year sentence). It was well-produced and edited. Body Cam Edition artfully conveyed the poignancy of this life-changing event. Just clicked on “subscribe.”
That nurse is a badass. When something bothers you but you still take action takes resilience and she's a hero. Hopefully she continued into the field we need more people like her.
@ CNA’s are certified nursing assistants. Their jobs are important but there are huge differences between what RN’s do and what CNA’s do. They are there to assist RN’s with the uglier parts of their jobs but get none of the glory.
She was a Certified Nurse Assistant student, not a nurse. It took lot more courage for her to do what she did than for a trained, licensed nurse, who knows CPR well to step in.
Bless that CNA student. She tried everything she could while she waited for help to arrive. I hope she is doing well and got any mental health care she may have needed after this situation ❤ this was likely very traumatic for her and she deserves nothing but happiness. If youre out there, know you did everything you could and it mattered to the family who lost him. Knowing some random person was willing to stop and do CPR is amazing.
14 years in prison for killing a father in front of his son. Idk why drunk drivers only ever get manslaughter. Driving a 5000 lb truck while under the influence???? pretty clear what their intent is
Vehicular manslaughter is a trash charge...I knew a dude who blew a 0.12 and killed someone....somehow only got 1 year in prison....he somehow managed to get a job where I worked witch was mind blowing (we made Kevlar, fire retarded insolation, turrets for tanks and hummers as well as the armor they put under them for ied's and mines....also made alot of wire harnesses for the bowing x-48) he worked 15 min told 3 people he was a scumbag and got fired immediately.....HOW DO YOU TELL 3 PEOPLE IN 15MIN ON YOUR FIRST DAY (of any job let alone one you absolutely shouldn't have for obvious reasons felons and military contracts are a hell no) but how do you even start that conversation....WHY DO YOU START THAT CONVERSATION....Anyway sorry that turned into a rant
The woman who said" just" a CNA needs to reflect on that day now and realise what she did. Be proud of the training and we all hope you went on to do more. Did the actual driver say she was not driving? RIP to the poor man whom lost his life and i hope all family, friends and those whom witnessed have the support they need even now.
You’re probably one of those people who talk down on people on other videos when they say they’re nurses but actually CNA. Now you want to praise them because others in the comment section did the same.
The student successfully maintains a pulse on what is essentially a corpse until the paramedics arrive; if he had any chance at all, she essentially gave him the greatest chance possible. Thank you so much for what you do, you're the best of the best people.
She never asked about the riders. Props to the officer that shook his head for seeing the same thing. As for the officer that made sure to make as much noise as possible while documenting the charges..... pay attention man. Little things can make a big difference. If you are the one with the cam, then make sure you get all the audio, and video you can. The woman who gave CPR, Bless you for stopping, and doing that. Everyone who gets that training is told, and knows they never want to have to use it. Thank you for doing your best to help another person in need.
To the CNA who was a saint and went above and beyond, doing everything she could……….. God Bless You Sweetheart,…. You’re exactly in the field you need to be in, and you went above and beyond!!!!!❤ 🫶
@ she literally was trying to fight to keep an innocent life from dying. So yeah, she’s a saint of a human being. And I do worship Jesus, every single day. You don’t bother me.
@@digey and you could see that the cop was so shocked and hurt that he took another big slurp of his Big Gulp. Cops think it's funny when someone dies on their shift. It gives them something to talk about at the bar before they go home and beat someone
Cna student doing solo CPR is impressive, I'm glad the officer was offering encouragement for her efforts. I'm sorry for the person who died, all his loved ones, any and all the witnesses, the person doing CPR compressions and all the responders to the scene. Drunk lady ... nope. Of course she isn't injured, unfricking believable. She needs serious jail time for taking a life. Edited to add... just realized when I saw the officer's uniform... I remember this accident. It occurred just a few miles away and was all over the local news and social media. Just finished watching the ending ... glad/relieved to hear she was sentenced to serve some real jail time. Unfortunately it won't bring the deceased back but hopefully his family will rest a little bit knowing for the foreseeable future his killer is off the streets. I was surprised no alcohol on her system, but I suppose she had enough other drugs in her those completely annihilated her senses, and even more brain cells.
You commented before watching the video to the end. If not you would have gotten the information that she was setenced to more than 175 months in jail (over 14 years) and got a lifetime suspension of her DL.
@ yes, I just edited my comment to indicate that I finished the video and saw that. Sometimes I just feel I want to respond asap so I don't forget what I wanted to say
There is no excuse to drive drunk or high on drugs. She ended the life of someone because she didn’t want to call an Uber, a taxi, a friend, or family member. What she did is unforgivable. I was a paramedic for 10 years and an RT for 5 years before going on disability. I’ve been to many cardiac arrests including one caused by a drunk driver and she didn’t survive. This CNA student did her best to try to save this man and I hope she continued to work in healthcare. She gave this man an increased chance of survival by stopping and doing CPR. Doing CPR especially for the first time is very scary and I remember doing CPR when I was a paramedic student for the first time. Since that day and the last day I worked in healthcare I’ve probably done CPR about 50 times including twice on children which is nerve wracking. One was only 3 years old after he was accidentally run over and the other was a premature baby born in a car. Neither survived. I have patients that I lost that was so traumatic to the point I considered finding a new career but I stuck with it until I couldn’t do I any longer due to my own health problems. My life was saved by my coworkers before when I went into anaphylactic shock and I was nearly intubated in the field. I’ve had a couple other critical illnesses and I was close to dying. It’s so scary and I’m not sure which scared me more. Being the patient facing death or working as a paramedic where I was running the code and intubating, putting in an IV or an IO, shocking the patient, administering the medications, and so on. The most important person on scene wasn’t me doing that but it was the EMT and first responders doing all of the chest compressions when I was the only medic on scene which meant that I was in charge of the code and my partner and first responders did all of the CPR. CPR is the most important job at a cardiac arrest. I have done CPR many times myself including on both children but I was able to switch out with my partner but if it was only my partner and myself at a cardiac arrest and my partner was an EMT-B and not a paramedic it meant that they did all of the CPR themselves which could last 45 minutes depending on how long we had to be on scene and how long it took to get to the ER. We had a saying in EMS. The paramedic saves the patient and the EMT-B saves the paramedic and that is 100% true. Without my partners I couldn’t do my job! To the CNA, what you did was remarkable. You stopped and tried to save this patient. Very few cardiac arrests survive even when it happens in the hospital and nurses and doctors are at the bedside in under 2 minutes. She is what everyone wants. Someone who will stop to help someone even when she isn’t on the clock and getting paid. Good job!
Hello, I am the young woman in the beginning, giving CPR! I would truly like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all of your kind messages. It truly gave me closure to this! At the time of this accident, I was a senior in high school, training to become a CNA, and felt like I was not good enough at the scene. But reading all of your comments truly hushed all those thoughts like "what if I did not do a good enough job." Thank you all again, truly!
God bless you for doing His work on earth.
You sounded amazing. It takes a hole lot of strength of character to do what you did, I’m sure you will do anything you set your mind to and i wish you well with all your endeavours. Well done lady.
You were incredibly brave!!!! For the sake of many, I hope you continued your education in healthcare but I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t.
You were amazing this day and I have zero doubt that you’re amazing every single day!!!!
Love and respect ❤
I was crying as I read the comments towards you, 😢 you did everything you could 🙏🏽, May our heavenly Father bring you peace 🕊️❣️.
I'm sorry that you had to experience that due to a driver that was intoxicated.
May you continue your studies and God bless you.
@jernisharichard5032 Thank you! In all honesty, I cried too. Everyone was truly beautiful!
I say this as a former firefighter and deputy, the young woman providing CPR needs to think about going further into the medical field. Even though she was upset, it didn't stop her from doing what needed to be done...that's what it takes to be an ER RN or Doctor. Good job!
Indeed!
@@MojoPup As a retired LEO, I agree. Being nervous or scared but choosing to step in to take action is a quality you either have or don't. You can't teach that. The world needs more people like her.
I went through the firefighting academy...my first ambulance ride along we were called to a severe car accident where the drunk driver hit a tree and ejected out the windshield...the dude's face and head were pizza and his nose was partially peeled off his face. We stabilized him and transported to hospital...I knew right then and there I didn't want to face the carnage and became a professional beekeeper...witnessing severe bodily injuries is not for everyone and that 1 event still haunts me 35 years later
I was thinking that, too. You wounder what happens when placed in this type of situation. The lady deserves so much respect.
She STEPPED UP! Awesome, hope she sticks with it, she's got good instincts and the drive to help people.
As a nurse, I am immensely proud of this CNA student. She isn't "just" anything. She IS a beautiful human being.
I can only hope she's not too traumatized to continue this line of work. Truly a godsend, she jumped into action when it counted.
@@youbetyourwrasse You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. It is never recommended to do mouth-to-mouth without a guard on a stranger and oftentimes, CPR with only chest compressions is even more effective because it allows the performer to concentrate all of their focus and energy on the compressions. The breath work in CPR actually does very little; it’s all about the chest compressions. You can’t restart a heart with just air, but it is very possible to restart a heart with just compressions. I would honestly only recommend adding mouth-to-mouth in any CPR case if you have other people willing to take over for you, because you will lose energy with those breaths that should be used to pumping the heart.
Seeing anything like this would screw me up. Rip 🙏
Wow she said she was a cna student. I remember those days that would be scary to be thrown in that position. She did a great job. I wonder who was yelling at her she didn’t say.
@@calicozy Not more effective, but will artificially pump the heart. Most effective with two people, taking turns, and with mouth to mouth. The second best thing is just chest compressions.
"More" effective is untrue.
GOOD JOB to the young lady giving CPR!
I've been a nurse for 38 years, and it's still frightening doing CPR on an actual person by yourself.
Never apologize, you did a wonderful job!
25 years as a cna, with well-educated nurses and doctors running the code it is, and i beleve always will be petrifying.
To the woman who said, "I'm just a CNA," you are so much more than that. You had the character to help. Thank you. I hope one day you become, "just an RN," or, *just an NP," or "just an MD." YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Best comment of the day!
Hell the world needs great dedicated CNAs too!
Yeah , The CNA was Awesome. I couldn't do it. I couldn't help at all it's not something I would be helpful at.😢
She said “just a CNA student”
calm down drama queen
Dear Just a CNA Student,
This is the reality of trauma. It can be awful and heartbreaking. You did what most can and will not. You showed courage and helped despite your fear. You did a great job. Keep it up.
Sincerely,
Just a Paramedic
One time I saw an accident. A bad one. But I didn’t have time to stop to help. So I drive away
Well said
❤
This is so poignant & well said - tears started welling up when reading this simple but powerful message. I felt for that brave, caring & tenacious young lady. You are both so much more than “just” anything!! Stay safe & thank you for all you do in service to others, both of you!~
cornball
Like a horror movie. Huge respect to the poor lady trying her hardest to save a strangers life in the middle of the road. Well done ma’am
And she said people were yelling at her. Disgusting.
Even though he didn't make it (not her fault), it is still good to see kind hearted people like her willing to pull over and help. Last year I ended up getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and nobody would stop to help, then some car pulled over so I walked up to it thinking they were going to offer help but they had their window down halfway and as I got closer I heard them giving details about me like my car description and what I look like and what I am wearing and they rolled the window up and drove off as I got closer lol... I thought they were kind and going to help they just called the cops one and peeled out in my face 😂😂😂
The cops never came so I just sat there for hours and the people came back and parked like a quarter mile away in a driveway staring at me 😂
horror movies are not censored
@@DIRTYBIRDYBEATScool so that’s when you call the cops yourself because that sounds like they were going to have someone kidnap you. If they were helping they would have told you they called for help instead of driving away.
Truly the stuff of nightmares. Hats off to her!
“I’m just a cna” made me cry so hard just now. Girl you will be writing prescriptions one day. God bless you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Bless that girl who tried so hard to help.
How traumatizing.
As hard as it is for some people to hear, there are just times that no amount of effort will make any difference. That said, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything we can.
There are some cases in which there simply is no help that one can provide. I’ve seen multiple cases in which describing the victims’ “injuries” could barely be considered “injuries”; that’s the point when a body is barely recognizable.
Incidents like this, and the one in this video, don’t just end the lives of the deceased and traumatize their families; they also potentially traumatize anyone who stops to assist, first responders, and law enforcement, and anyone else involved.
That woman had no clue, or in my opinion any care whatsoever, of any of this. She just wanted to serve her immediate wants.
@@Peridot0000 She made the right call. Did you only read the first part of my comment and skip straight to being mad??

Nice comment. ♥️
That woman was amazing! You could hear she was all in, in that moment!
When she repeated "we're gonna keep trying" I wanted to tear up
@FooglerDoodgler i did!
Man, I’m not a hugger but I just wanted to give her the biggest mom hug I have in me. She was frantic but she got to work anyway. I have GOT to get CPR certified. I think the city has courses…
Massive respect to the young student giving CPR to the victim.
I wish I could give the student who was basically a first responder on the scene a big hug, we need more people like her and less people like the main character
Agree 💯
And also a lot less people like the ones who gave the wonderful CNA student a hassle like she said @ 2:23 in the video.
She will be such an excellent CNA.
It really saddened me to hear all that she said. How overwhelming that must have been for her, the family and the officer.
❤❤❤ 100% agreed
The spectrum of humanity on full display. Someone who cares so deeply she is concerned that she isnt good enough to help a stranger and someone who is so oblivious to life that she kills someone and doesnt care.
Totes
The driver was more concerned about the condition of her truck than the condition of the man she ran over.
Well said
Reefer madness.
@SecuR0M that's not weed, my man.
That detective was sickened (and rightfully so) at her asking the condition of her truck. Im with you sir
the cop writes sideways, never seen that before
Yeah he was livid....turned away shaking his head. She knew she killed someone too and still said that. Monstrous!!
Im left-handed and I write sidewys. It's just easier @sandwichman100
@@LazerFriday Did she actually realize she killed someone at all??? I’m seriously asking, I’ve rewatched this 5x and I don’t think she even has enough cognitive sense to realize it was fatal. I can’t hear all her words, so I was guessing if she realized what she did.
So with that officer seen a drunk mother crash with her 2 year old and said fuck that kid to police in 2010. I was 12 that was the saddest shit I seen didn’t say or worry about her kid after that.

Oof, I rewound it a couple of times tbh, glad someone else caught that too! She took the chance people wanted.
I had to watch it 2 more times to hear it, but I heard it. It was a blonde hair lady, with the big dark pink purse walking by. You can barely hear it, but I heard it. Things like this makes everyone angry. I just can't understand why others just don't get it, like this lady. Don't drink/drug and drive!!
The lady walking in the crosswalk at 17:43 said what most people are probably thinking; “I hope you get locked up for life”.
Wow. Love that she said that I completely missed that. Thanks for providing the timestamp
Thanks for the timestamp, she spoke for the whole world on that crosswalk.
And called her a bish, too.

I was shocked when she said people were yelling at her for giving CPR, but bless her, she kept trying anyway.
The driver's name is Christine L. Herbert. She was 48 at the time of the incident, 50 at the time of sentencing. She will be released from prison at age 64.
The victim's name is Robert Pitts, age 74, of Port St. Lucie. He had been riding with his son, age 38, at the time of the incident. He is survived by his son, unnamed, and his wife, Maria Pitts.
The estate of Robert Pitts, represented by Maria Pitts, is suing Christine L. Herbert and her employer, CleanSweep Vac LLC, for wrongful death, as Christine was driving a company vehicle at the time.
The case is presided by Hon. Judge Elizabeth A. Metzger.

TY so much
Thank you for sharing this information. I can see why the surviving victim sounded so absolutely distraught, I can't imagine that devastation.
She already looks 64.
Thank you for the details!!!
CNA gal, you are an absolute hero. Please keep going, the world needs more people like you.
Love how she doesn't ask about the man she killed, not ONCE. Absolutely disgusting.
talk? i can barely understand a word she says
she did ask about her truck though, concerned if it was drivable or not.
In all the videos I've watched like this, only today did I finally see the driver ask about the victim.... Mind-blowing.
Edit: not this woman or video
The Officer's reaction says it all
I hope you know they never tell this and I am speaking from experience You get charged with DUI and when you go to court, you will get added charges. And I wasn't the one drunk that night either. Screw the drunks and the cops, both alike.
That young woman made this 60 year old man cry. I spent almost 4 years in a rehab facility and felt blessed being cared for by young ladies like this. So many CNA's are there for nothing but a paycheck and I saw so much indifference on a daily basis. I saw a dementia patient sent to the hospital because the girl who was feeding her was in a rush and she aspirated her food. For someone like her it's obviously a calling and her crying so hard because she couldn't do more had me completely choked up
I absolutely know what you are saying, as an RN I have seen both sides of it. The CNAs with the passion for caring I encourage so deeply because they rarely see just how special they are.
Most make less than they would at McDonalds to do 3x the work physically/emotionally. The truth is if we want passionate people in this role we need to start demanding it is paid its worth. Truly healthcare is in a desperate place and functioning on a lot of goodwill from workers. I am scared for the next 20 years as there is less incentive every year to enter the field.
@mariella2884 The one thing you have going for you at this point is the boomers are all close to the age they need help. That's 68 million Americans
I was in a rehab facility for close to 4 years. They were hiring anyone with a pulse to meet state requirements for minimal staffing.
Meanwhile the better facilities in the area were grabbing the better caregivers with bonuses raises and other incentives. The law of supply and demand holds true in your profession as well
I felt blessed when I was cared for by someone like this young lady because people like her only accounted for 20% of the staff tops
a trailer trash piece of shit did that 🤦🏾♂️ terrible way to go
I'm a hair stylist and I worked in a retirement community called The villages in Central Florida for over 10 years and I absolutely loved all of my guests and I stood up for so many of them so many times because I saw things done to them and it is not acceptable!! I contacted family members for them, I called on their behalf and set up appointments ECT. and I was told that it was that of my business... I don't understand people that won't protect another person it's just ridiculous😢
Yes I used to work in a nursing home in the kitchen. I’m 25 and in nursing school. Felt like the nurses and CNA’s would take so much of their anger and frustration out on me working in the kitchen but it was understandable because they were so understaffed, operating outside of state law, and had cranky patients as a result. I understand why people in the medical field stay away from nursing homes, and it’s not the reasons you might think. The patients have nothing to do with it. The management is terrible and you don’t feel supported as an employee.
Bless that student doing CPR, her voice sounds very young, people yelled at her and she still went into action. If you see this, you are a hero for giving what others didn't not. A chance.
Understand how relatives of the victim were upset and yelling but props to the woman for keeping focused and doing what was right. And the ability to update the officer when he got to her.
Wait... where in the video were people yelling at the young woman? And why? I heard the guy screaming but didn't think it was directed at the girl. Am I missing something?
@@CarmenRCaruanaIt was before the video began, when the cops got there.
@@paulsmith5725 Yea in my CPR/First Aid class we were told straight up that relatives tend to be pretty hostile/upset during traumatic events so you kinda have to take control of the situation even if it means physically separating a hysterical parent from their child
@@CarmenRCaruana She tells the officer that they had been shouting at her. It is a little unclear if they were just upset or if they actually thought she did something wrong or not enough or what have you. As a paramedic myself I can assure you, however, that it's quite normal to be shouted at during CPR. And it's understandable as well. You have to realise that the loved ones of your patient just watched him DIE in front of them. No thought after that is rational.
You are more than “just a trainee to be a CNA”
You are a young woman of compassion, caring and courage “
May God bless you for whatever path in life you choose and give you comfort in the very tragic incident you chose to help out
You are an example of integrity to your generation
And you can really tell she put her heart and soul into that CPR.
I'm glad that older man witness pointed out she kept looking down at her phone. That sh*t pisses me off so much. It leads to SO many rear-ends.
That was the least of her transgressions. Taking multiple narcotics and then under their influence is much worse. This was not your everyday rear-ender.
Yep, SICK of people staring at their phones. I try to have board game nights here occasionally, and literally had to ban cell phone usage during games it got so bad. Let alone while driving.
YEah - I was rear-ended by a chick looking at her phone. After we pulled over she was mouthing "I'm so sorry" out her window. Yeah, I bet. Her dad handled everything - didn't want to go through insurance (he did pay cash for the repairs)....I bet this was not the 1st time she had an incident from not paying attention to the road.
I was rear ended. No injuries but the lady admitted she was texting. Destroyed a case of 150 year old family heirlooms made of glass i was transporting to my house as my parents were downsizing.
@ ahhh the ol' "i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry..." until they wind up getting comforted. A classic deflection tactic. (Yeah though, sorry that crap happened to u & yr car.)
Retired FF/Paramedic, i wish i could give the CNA student doing CPR a huge hug and tell her how proud i am of her. Working a traumatic arrest is a horrifying experience for anyone. Drunk Drivers anger me beyond words. Sadly ive seen this WAY too many times, its always the innocent people that pay the price
My prayers are with his family and the poor lady sitting beside him
CPR is so easy and so important. Forever I will have that BeeJees song in my head "staying alive" Give a breath or not, just pump to the music.
@@robinbaker6675I remember seeing that on Grey's Anatomy when Owen was giving that young girl instructions on the phone on how to do CPR. It's always stuck with me. When I got my certification, that's exactly how I timed it in my head.
Amen ❤🙏🏽
I'm just curious, in the case of a life threatening emergency should you do mouth to mouth resuscitation even if you don't have a mouth piece? It's been awhile for me and I know the protocol changes so much from year to year. Thank you for your service.

@@philipsmashmouth8782ah yes, so you are just here to wind people up. Sad.

I'm a little over 2 mins in and I'm in full on tears. The voice of the CNA just gets me. Ma'am if you're seeing this, thank you! Being in the field is much different. There are veteran nurses who may not have had the character you did to step into a horrifically tragic accident to save a stranger. You did all you could and we all thank you! God bless you! 💜 To this innocent man's family, especially the younger rider w/him, I offer my prayers and sympathy. May God hold you up. May grace move you forward , & mercy give you peace. 🙏🏽
Are those last two lines from something? It's really beautiful.
Well said. 🙏👍
That was extremely well said "may God hold you up, may grace move you forward and may mercy give you peace" that hit me right in the heart.
Held her together tears wise till I read this 😭
I know how she felt. I witnessed a drunk driver hit a young girl in her car on my way to work. She flew all around in the car as it rolled over twice and she ended in the back seat. When the car came to a stop I ran over to see if she was ok. In the meantime the man got out of his car and started to walk off. The road was a country road with not much traffic, and before cell phones. I had to yell at him to stop and set down. The girl was knocked out and having convulsions. I was trying to decide how I could take care of her and keep the man from walking off when two men drove up. One got out and the other went to call an ambulance. The man that got out watched the man while I climbed into the backseat and held the girls hand and talked to her. I was afraid to move her because of back or neck injuries. When ambulance people got there I was so upset that I couldn’t do anything, but they reassured me I done the right thing in not moving her and just talking to her calmly. That made me feel so much better. When I finally made it to work the boss looked at me in horror and asked me what happened. I thought he was talking about me being late, but he said no, it was because I was covered in blood. I had no idea as I guess I was in shock. He sent me home thank goodness. The girls family got my name from the police and called me later and thanked me. They have sent me a Christmas card now every year for 34 years!
🙏🙏🙏
That lady should never drive again. A man is lying on the ground receiving CPR, and she's worried about scraped knees!! Absolutely oblivious. What a disgraceful person.
As stated at the end after her 14 years in prison she will never legally drive again.

But had 78 days served before trial.
Yup.
3 months.

To the family of the man whose life was taken from him, you have my deepest sympathy! To the young lady (I believe she said she was a CNA student) who started chest compressions, you are amazing! Thank you! To those who were witness to this tragedy, I am sorry and hope you all are doing ok. To the officers on scene, thank you for your service! I don’t know how you do this on a daily basis. I appreciate you! And to the woman who caused all this heartache and suffering, may you spend your days/years in jail thinking about how your chosen actions killed an innocent man and destroyed a family! They will never forget what you did or how their loved one so senselessly died, but in spite of you and in time, they will move forward with their lives holding the memories of their loved one in their hearts!
Well said.
Damn
very well said as already stated
Well said. 🙏💚
Its a her
To the CNA student. You bloody rock! You did an amazing job and there's a ton of people who believe and know you will do amazing things. To the self centered twit who decided to drive blitzed like that. May your days be filled with sorrow and regret. May even the smallest happiness be forever just out of reach.
That nurse trainee was so brave. What an angel. Edit: People getting caught up on my calling her a nurse trainee are utterly missing the point. Good grief.
Brave?
@NPCHSN She jumped to help a total stranger with CPR in the middle of a crash situation, she's only trained and never done it on a human, her voice is clearly shaking from fear and adrenaline...I dunno, that's gd brave to me. I have no idea what your definition is.
@@DankyDankenstein yeah, brave. That word you don't understand the concept of.
CNA is not a nurse trainee....
@@Bl00dCrown She said herself she's in training to be a CNA. Listen again.
The disbelief from the officer saying “are you asking about your truck?”. His eye-roll was echoed around the world!
I noticed that, too. Shaking his head and walking away, and she didn't ask about the victims once. Talked about that motorcycle under her truck like there wasn't just a person on it.
Made me physically ill to see her ask that.
Drunk Drivers deserve NO Mercy, goes for driving high as well . I watched my little cousin get struck by a drunk on a grid road in front of me when I was 7, she was 5. The farm was very remote, yet adjacent to the grid road, we wandered off playing together one minute, the next I heard that car and watched her fly into the ditch. She was dead instantly, and at 50 it’s safe to say, I have been scarred for life as I can’t stop seeing it replay in my head over and over. Anyone please if you’re planning to drink, get a sober ride home, even a remote grid road can have small children nearby so it’s never ok, or safe to drive home drunk. I hope wherever my cousin is, she knows how much I love and miss her, I wish I could trade places with her everyday since, so she could have lived out her life. A piece of me died that day too, that I’ll never get back.
I’m so sorry. There are no other words I can offer other than I’m sorry and I pray for relief of that pain at least most days. I’m sorry something so horrific happened to you and her. 😢
Sending love, peace and strength to you and may your friend R.I.H. 👑🌹💕❤️💕❤️
Just know there is ABSOLUTELY a reason you are here ❤ you are worthy may the lord lessen your pain 🙏 love and blessings to you
She blew a 0.0 but had a slew of narcotics in her system at the time of the crash
@@numbxdrug I dont understand how the officers more than one said she smelled like alcohol but no alcohol in her system? Do you think that it was cleaning supplies??
Man, I've been an LEO for a decade now. You don't see too many people like the girl in the beginning anymore. What a hero! Hope she continued her career! To maintain your composure and do what needs to be done, alone, on your first scene! Most of us had a partner, crew, shift for our first times. To handle it on your own that well, when you're that green? I can't imagine how scary it was for her to act! What an absolute badass!
Anyone who stops in a horrific scene to administer CPR is absolutely a " hero!". May God continue to bless you all!
Where was god when the man was being drug under a car suffering an absolutely horrific death?
The CNA did a fantastic job doing CPR. You have what it takes young lady. I am a RN who worked ICU/CCU before my retirement. Continue your studies and good luck in your career.
❤❤❤❤
Stop trying to follow suit on the other comments. You people are so unoriginal. Any other time you talk down on people who are CNAs claiming to be nurses.
No one cares
@@bobbowie9350no need to be so mean just because you don’t amount to anything
Agree!! Worked with many excellent CNA’s in my nursing career. Tried to convince several to go on and further their education.
That young man's agony will stay with me. He will never recover from what he witnessed.
He witnessed the death of his father.😢
@@ourcreativebeehive I recently was with my dad when he went through a sudden, dramatic, life-threatening medical condition, and though he ultimately survived that shit fucks you up. My heart goes out to the guy.
@atomic_wait Myself as well. My mom was not expected to make it. She's 67 and I lost my dad last year. This was a month ago and I have been suffering from crippling and debilitating anxiety, nightmares, I don't want to leave her side. I keep writing it off as just anxiety and that I'm being ridiculous and it's in my head, but your comment made me realize I need to be much more kind to myself. I've been through trauma and it's going to take a long time. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.
@Ena48145 Thank you, it was three close calls for my Dad in a row and he's not out of the woods yet. Massive aortic dissection, open heart surgery, the works. The rockstar surgeons definitely saved his life, people don't tend to survive what he survived. He's getting a bit better every day.
I'm very sorry for your loss and glad to hear your mom is still with us. Hope she's doing well. Talking with people about my experience helped, I hope you find peace with what you've gone through.
Prayers for that young man's mind and body. May his only memories be of years of love and laughter.
Humanity needs more humans like that young girl who gives CPR...
Wish every humans is like her... World would be a great place to live...
I honestly don't know how these officers can see what they see and still maintain such courtesy and grace!
Protecting us from crime is just half of what they do, this is the other half. I respect police and always will.
Disassociation
@nicholasplotnick3673 I know well what a powerful tool that can be!
@@Toupac1029Yet they get very little appreciation and a LOT of unwarranted negativity.
Give me a break. That's what taxpayers pay for.
The CNA did great even though she was obviously very panicked. Always admire people who can get straight to administering medical aid even though they're terrified.
Her instincts are amazing
She really stepped up.
She’s awesome. 👏
She did compression, kept track of the cycles and accurately reported. That's not panic, it's adrenaline.
People in the crowd were yelling at her!
"I'm just a CNA"... I'm not just crying... What a beautiful soul her talking about how they just kept yelling at her but she stayed strong and did what she could. I think many of us only hope we could do the same if we were put in the same situation!
I think many of us would do the best we could in a situation. I got hit by a car at ~70mph while picking up my emergency cones (I was a cdl driver) and the best the kind folks who stopped could do was keep people FROM rushing to help me (since you're not supposed to move folks who've been impacted like that) and to instead either call 911 or stand by because calls were out.
The lady who hit me was a nurse, but she was a bit shaken up and not able to lock in. She was fairly surprised by the whole thing, because it happened in real life (she was on her phone driving down a busy interstate) so I can understand why she wasn't very helpful at the time. It is kind of ironic, though.
Anyway I do believe people will do what they think is best in those situations, and I think that more often than not those people want to help injured folks. I think most of the videos taken are originally with that in mind, too, despite what is often portrayed online, after others have gotten their hands on it.
I ended up mostly fine, idk how stuff wasn't broken but I do have some lasting spinal issues from it. I like to joke that it "runs in the family" since my dad had a machine fall on him at work, disabling him before I was born.
People are good, in general. Not always knowledgeable or smart, but at least they mean well. I will never forget the 13 people who got out of their cars on the side of a busy highway to see if I was OK. That will always mean a lot

My husband had a massive heart attack here at the house. I did CPR for 8 minutes, before paramedics arrived. I cannot describe the emotional roller coaster and exhaustion doing CPR is. My husband did not survive. I later thought to check his Apple Watch. His heart never beat once after he collapsed. My heart rate reached 178 beats /minutes during the time I was doing CPR. My blood pressure was so high, I never heard the sirens. This young woman did an outstanding job. Others may have taken turns to relieve her, if not, they should have. I had CPR training, but it comes far short of what CPR on a real person is like. It is physically and emotionally exhausting.

None of this needed to happen if that woman had decided NOT to drive whilst intoxicated. This makes me SO cross. If you want to endanger your own life, fine, whatever, don't care, but when you endanger and take other people's lives it becomes a totally different ball game!. At least she got something along the lines of a meaningful sentence, plus a lifetime ban. Something similar happened here in the UK recently and the driver didn't receive a lifetime driving ban. Absolutely deplorable. If you do something like this, you should NEVER get behind a steering wheel again, end of.
My hat is off to the young lady who said she is "just a CNA student." Honey, when someone needed help, you jumped in. You didn't freeze up. You didn't say, "Someone else can do it." You didn't say, "Oh, ick! I might get messy!" You've only practiced on Resusci-Annie, but that didn't stop you from stepping up to a real person. You are a hero.

@@cotyreed047360relax bro. Let them put their gloves on. The guy was receiving CPR. Let everyone protect themselves so they can help others.

@cotyreed047360 They have to wear them. Just as doctors do. It's for their protection and the patient.
@@cotyreed047360 The cop? The gloves are to protect the cops from accidentally spreading the blood and grime to them and possibly getting them sick.

Its gotta be hard to be a cop here in Florida. They have a hard job.
You are not JUST a CNA. You helped keep a man alive so he could be treated at the hospital. You will never JUST be a CNA, you provide very important care to those not able to care for themselves. You are so important to the nursing staff and the patients. Be proud of what you do.
She said "Just a CNA *student*"
Welllllll she didn't keep anyone alive. He was dead.
@@Peridot0000 Lots of rage bait bots in the comments
@ he was dead on scene - there was no chance. The reason he was transported was likely because the EMS agency's protocols didn't allow for them to terminate CPR under the current circumstances they had on scene, or other similar factors.
As a medic I can tell you we are all extremely familiar with how very rare it is to resuscitate a traumatic arrest - especially when it happened so quickly.
It’s almost 3 years later. I hope everyone on scene has a good circle of support. To the friend, there was nothing you could have done. May the Pitts family be healing. RIP Mr Pitts🕊️
Do you mean his son? The younger man was riding his motorcycle in front of his father. 😢💔
The Laws and Penalties for DUI in most states are way too weak.
All laws in general that is why we are so bad now. Nobody gets held responsible, they just get a court date and most of the time the court drops the case because they are "backlogged from the pandemic" then hire more judges 😂😂😂
You got judges on Zoom and still can't do any work lol
Penalties after the fact don’t do anything to reduce the offense from occurring. What hel-s are proactive programs such as requiring alcohol serving establishments to pay for a taxi / uber home for anyone that doesn’t feel safe to drive, prosecuting alcohol serving establishments for over serving customers/ allowing visibly drunk customers to drive, and treatment programs for alcoholics / repeat offenders.
@@cruisinguy6024people would have to want that help, or ask for it. They won't do that. Even if they had a paid ride home, I doubt half of the people would ask for it. They don't want to leave their car, they don't feel comfortable in someone else's car, etc. I was a bartender for over a decade, and probably only a small percentage of people actually think about the dangers of driving drunk. We did our best not to over serve people, we go through courses to get licensed. But there are some things you can't always keep an eye on, especially if it's busy, or if there are multiple people involved in the transaction. It's impossible to keep track of everyone all the time. And everyone reacts differently to alcohol. I understand what you're saying, and it would be great if everyone was honest and humble enough to request the ride, or help, when needed, I'm just being realistic.
@@DIRTYBIRDYBEATSare you willing to raise taxes even higher for more judges, more courtroom stuff for criminals? Trials, judges, juries, everything costs money. That's why they end up pleading people out so often. If everyone requested a trial by jury, which they have the right to do, courts would be backed up for YEARS. It's not always necessarily the courts fault, although I agree some reform should be looked into.
Here's the problem. There are too many criminals. And criminals will keep committing crime if sentences aren't appropriate to be a deterrent. The sentences aren't appropriate or a deterrent because they're backed up, and they're backed up because there are too many criminals. See what I mean? You can't fix one without fixing the other first. I don't have the solution for it, and I don't even have an answer to my own question about taxes. Would it be worth it, would it work? It's a problem, I just don't have the solution.
@TexanTrad there is a TRILLION dollars "missing" from the white house, crime is up, they give illegal immigrants $3,000 a month+, give them food, shelter, clothing, they allow everyone to shoplift and cause our grocery and hygiene products and household items to go up in price, give other countries money, waste money on dumb stuff. But they can't afford judges and speedy trials? The problem is they don't hold anyone accountable, and the ones that get caught and actually show up for court is minimal.. If they had more judges and more court procedures going on instead of being rescheduled and put off, and thrown out, and they had harder penalties people would get tired of sitting in jail, or they would be there so much the penalties get BIGGER, and they stay LONGER. People learn, not all of them but if you don't do anything at all, this is what you get... Murderers and creepers roaming free and dudes from the Italian Mafia from the old days out now with TH-cam channels after taking many lives and only serving 10 years because they snitched...
There wouldn't be so many criminals if you put a stop to their crimes and come down hard on them... Look at California, they had a bad gang problem in the 70's, 80's, and 90's and in the 90's when it got BAD, they started cracking down on gang members and started giving them "gang enhancement" charges for wearing the colors, hanging out with groups larger than 3 people, they started giving gang members bigger charges for organized crime, they started busting all the gangs and put so many in prison and jail that it definitely made a good impact. Gangs were no longer allowed to parole to California or their old neighborhood and it cut down on drugs, guns, deaths, violence, robberies, etc... Now gangs hide and try to stay under the radar because if they get caught they could go for LIFE!

I guarantee her Suboxone doctor doesn't know about the Xanax doctor. That's not recovery.
Exactly!!! But if she's taking a urine test for the Suboxone it should show up..... So I would question the why and how she's getting/taking both....
Not true tbh. If she’s on Suboxone maintenance she’s getting UA’ed on a regular basis. Benzos stay in your system for nearly a week. It is not unheard of for somebody on Suboxone to also be prescribed Xanax; it just is not recommended.
Nowadays, it is impossible to get a prescription without it being seen by the other doctors. It’s all digital, and narcotics require a physical paper prescription every month for refills.
Suboxone doesn't make me tired and lethargic like she is, she's clearly self medicating.

That angel is not JUST a CNA. A nurse is a nurse is a nurse. Youre saving lives. Keep going ❤
Man, people really get in a twist over this. She's letting the officers know her qualifications or lack thereof. Also, a CNA is NOT a nurse. They are assistants to nurses.
@@ev25zvshe said CNA student; that likely means certified nurse anesthetist student
@@maryd-nr2zh Nice try at making up complete bullchit and thinking people would say, "hurrr okie dokie" just because you correctly used a semicolon, but what you're talking about is called a CRNA.
A CRNA student needs to already have an active RN license to get accepted into the program and would never, never call themselves a CNA student and certainly never "just a CNA student" when they are already fully licensed RN's.
@@maryd-nr2zhcertified nursing assistant student
@@maryd-nr2zh You're thinking of CRNAs, which are very different. CNAs handle the grunt/unpopular work of nursing like cleaning, feeding, changing, and toileting patients, and it's a physically demanding job that is often underpaid. Very different from anesthetizing patients
Suboxone for her opiate addiction, Xanax, a benzo for her “anxiety” and alcohol. Are you kidding me? She deserves way more than 14 years. You killed someone, seriously injured someone else, and traumatized so many people with your actions. Way to take your sobriety seriously…..not. And to the young cna student. You are a hero. This ER RN applauds you for your bravery in the face of serious adversity, CPR is no joke and in the presence of physical trauma, it can be quite disturbing. You’ve got the stuff needed to keep going in the medical field if that’s your dream. Kudos galore to you!
The disgust on the cops face when she enquired whether her truck was drivable and being towed! Shakes his head in disbelief!
*inquired
@@bethewalt7385in British English it’s spelled ‘enquire’.
To the woman who said she was just a CNA student, I can only imagine how scary this was. But you are not just anything… whoever you are… you jumped into action, you helped, you stayed calm and did perfectly despite apparently being yelled at. I’ve been “just a CNA” for quite awhile now. I was young and a new CNA when I had to do CPR on someone I knew who was unresponsive to a severe asthma attack. Luckily it wasn’t a traumatic experience like this one. Unfortunately a few years later he passed from a different asthma attack, but I was lucky he survived mine. I pray this girl isn’t traumatized from this and she continues in whatever she is planning on doing in the medical field. And if it’s being a CNA, god bless her. We need compassionate, good CNAs, if it’s nursing, a doctor.. I hope she continues. I also hope she opens up and talks to someone about this bc she sounded very shaken. I hope she was checked on.
And I pray for the victim and their poor family. Losing someone in this way… so senseless.
And the cop said “we cant help until we have gloves on” what an absolute disgrace for a human being!!!
NO SUCH THING AS LUCK BLESSED. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.🙏🙏😥 SITUATION 🙏🙌🦋
@@cotyreed047360 it may be the police policy because there is fluids involved
I am a nurse and I would never survive my/our days without our CNAs. They are the glue that holds our team together. I could not survive my shifts without them. You did an AMAZING job and you will NEVER be “just a CNA”. You rock and did such a great job. Are you going into nursing?
@ ur so kind. That was the original plan, I am in my 30s now. I had my first son young and was in a relationship in which I wasn’t really… able to work towards much, as embarrassing as that is to say. A few years ago I left that relationship and I’m working on my self confidence and starting over. I love what I do. I absolutely love patient care. I work in a hospital that is connected to a nursing home and so I get to do both, some people don’t enjoy working with geriatric patients in a nursing home setting but I do so it’s nice to use hospital skills and care for residents. But it’s hard bc I’m supporting my
Two boys on my own financially. And so… Im looking Into what I can do schooling wise where the work load won’t be too bad. Im kinda frozen atm and I just need to figure it out. Everything I love to do doesn’t pay well lol or I’m afraid I’d never make it through the schooling 🫣 sorry.. that answer was probably more than you bargained for lol
And I work with so many great nurses, I appreciate great nurses. I work with one who just became a nurse, she’s 24. She is the greatest. I love her so much bc for example when someone comes down after a surgery and she asks me to go do something for them or tells me we need to watch out for something she will tell me specifically why, and what complications could come from what we’re trying to avoid… it isn’t just a blank command. I think she does that for both of us bc she’s wanting to retain it, and I truly appreciate it. And she will ask me things like… how did I come off after speaking to a patient? Or when the nurse that’s been there for 34 years is being extremely condescending and rude to me she will come and check on me and tell me she appreciates me or says things like “I love working with you bc you’re so competent.” That sentence means everything. Nurses are the greatest. I tell her all the time how much I appreciate her not only for me but for the patients. I’m so lucky to work with a few of the best nurses. Another has been a nurse for many years and she will leave little notes at the end of our 12 hour shift thanking me for making a hard day great and it means everything. I couldn’t imagine not being in health care. Thank you for what you do. Just you commenting to me, I imagine you make your team feel appreciated.
This is so heartbreaking. I have absolutely NO sympathy for people who choose to drive impaired. It's always innocent people who get seriously hurt or killed. Prayers to his family and friends.
not just impaired but distracted
They're ALL SELFISH‼️ it's about ME,ME,ME........I HAVE TO GET HIGH BECAUSE MY LIFE IS SO MISERABLE........POOR ME‼️‼️ I am an RN.......... I KNOW........ I have been working Detox/Residential inpatient facility......... I see it‼️

The CNA’s efforts make me emotional. The comments from other nurses and EMTs as well. You have to be a special type of person to do those jobs.

Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss
The detective shaking his head when she asked about the truck. I think we all reached the same way. Unreal and extraordinarily sad.
As a former CNA student I give this young woman a lot of credit for stepping in such a traumatic situation,and even though she was clearly upset and nervous She didn't let that cloud her mind or sidetrack her from the matter at hand and she stayed focused and thinking clearly and that's not easy to do in such a high stress environment!! My brother is a paramedic so I know how chaotic a scene is especially when you have a victim that's very hurt, it can get very hectic very quick!! And I come from a family of doctors and nurses and firefighters,and this young woman showed such great strength and character in this moment and I think she's going to be a wonderful addition to the health care system!! And you are not only a CNA, and don't ever forget that!! I wish you continued success in the field and I hope you keep continuing your education because I think you would be a fabulous RN or doctor, or any position!! You work great under pressure and I know that the family has to be incredibly thankful for your quick action to do all you could to save their family member, I know it must have been incredibly scary and traumatic, And I'm so sorry for that,but you did a great job and stayed focused and communicated with the first responding officers really well,and let them know what was going on and where you were at in the CPR progress, very impressive!! I wish You all the best!!
Love you CNA whoever you are
RIP Mr. Pitts. May your family find solace at some point. You will be missed by many. God Speed and keep the shiny side up in paradise.
Beautifully said 🤍
I like to think he's up there riding the biggest, loudest hog...
Agreed. You had a true fight for life considering your injuries. What a terrible shame.
I immediately started to cry when the lady said she was “just a CNA”. I’m taking the course now and just the regular activities are scary performing on an actual person in clinical, and not the dummies we use in class. So her having the leadership skills to help a dying person says soooo much. I doubt I’d have the courage. She deserves so many props.
To the young lady who took it upon herself to help try to save that mans life...I can only hope to be half the human you are someday. The courage it takes to jump in and provide life saving support for somebody completely helpless, in an incredibly scary situation is not teachable. That comes from the deepest depths of your makeup and you should be infinitely proud. I hope to God that you continue your career in the medical field. I know if I was gravely injured, or in trouble, I'd want somebody like you coming to my aide. Bless your heart.
“i’m just a CNA student”
ma'am, you're a hero
Poor woman (the student). Her voice made me tear up, you can feel her panic but also her strength. In that moment, she knew she didnt have time to break down. Afterward, I pray she was consoled and told that despite the unfortunate passing of the victim, she did her absolute best. That will stay with her forever.
That got me too dude. I think that audio hit me in the gut harder than seeing the graphic content would have. She did so good, did not give up at all.
Yes it def will I remember my first patient I lost
That girl is not just a CNA student she is a hero!!!!!!!! I hope she goes far in her medical field ❤
This young lady is a shinning example of what it means to be a medical professional regardless of the letters that follow her name!!!Like everyone else to hope she adds all those initials after her name because That day, when she was needed the most she rose to the occasion and became part of what makes each of us pursue the training needed to honestly help those around who need just one of us to be the best we each can be!!😇
I was once, "Just a CNA." Then I too ended up witnessing and having to render aide in a crash and became a RN,BSN. Now I've delivered babies alone on nightshift, kept kids on ventilators alive through long lonely nights, and saved other lives. She'll be a great nurse or MD one day. She functions in the right way at the right time. It's only when she tried to speak you could hear the voice Crack. Thats how we all feel doing CPR. Then we go cry for several hours once our butt's hit the drivers seat in the car after shift. The nurses I did one round of clinical with in PICU would say the highway next to the hospital was bathed in their tears from all the drives home w the tears streaming. That young woman who did CPR is 100% cut from the right cloth and any hospital system will be lucky to have a nurse of her caliber on their floors! I really hope she was inspired to continue education and save so many lives which will also make this man's situation not in vain.
She deserve life in prison.
I agree.
She really does, she THOUGHT her boyfriend was in the truck with her! Who TF was she texting with while out of her mind on Suboxone and xanex?!? There should be additional time added for distracted driving! She sounded like Boomhuer from King of the Hill, all those tears were for her addled brained self!
Yup.
Life in prison for an ACCIDENT? Of course she shouldn't be driving intoxicated but it still wasn't intentional.
@@aaadamt964her taking drugs and drinking alcohol before deciding to drive is NOT AN ACCIDENT and yes she should be in prison for the rest of her life . She took a life !
God bless that Angel of a student.
As an EMT, I hope that young lady who was "just a student" sees all these comments. She put aside her own panic to help and went into work mode which takes incredible resilience. Keep going girl - you're what the medical profession needs 💚
And she had only just learned CPR a day or so before! THAT takes courage on top of resilience, and she just kept right on doing CPR despite others yelling at her for doing it.
This video prompted so many emotional reactions-concern, respect (for the CNA and officers), sadness (upon hearing the son’s despair in knowing his dad likely wouldn’t survive), delight (officer’s “new dad” reflexes “I’m like Spider-Man”), horror, disgust, rage, incredulity (that she had taken a Xanax and another drug that “makes me sleepy”), and partial satisfaction (with her 14-year sentence). It was well-produced and edited. Body Cam Edition artfully conveyed the poignancy of this life-changing event. Just clicked on “subscribe.”
That nurse is a badass. When something bothers you but you still take action takes resilience and she's a hero. Hopefully she continued into the field we need more people like her.
That wasn’t a nurse. She was a CNA in training. CNA’s are not nurses.
@Thepotatothatchokedamber what is that then ? Being genuithoI thought CNA was s OK me sort of nurse
@ CNA’s are certified nursing assistants. Their jobs are important but there are huge differences between what RN’s do and what CNA’s do. They are there to assist RN’s with the uglier parts of their jobs but get none of the glory.
She was a Certified Nurse Assistant student, not a nurse. It took lot more courage for her to do what she did than for a trained, licensed nurse, who knows CPR well to step in.
“New Dad reflexes” a much needed little lightheartedness during a tragic situation.
I enjoyed that little snippet of humor as well.
That was funny.
The guttural cries when the officers got to the scene was heartbreaking!
I almost wonder if it was father and son, the second rider was much younger.
@ that’s exactly what I was thinking too!
@@mamacita7973 It was father and son, it's shown on screen at the end
It was
It was. I don't remember if it says it in the video, but I know it's all over the comments.
Bless that CNA student. She tried everything she could while she waited for help to arrive. I hope she is doing well and got any mental health care she may have needed after this situation ❤ this was likely very traumatic for her and she deserves nothing but happiness.
If youre out there, know you did everything you could and it mattered to the family who lost him. Knowing some random person was willing to stop and do CPR is amazing.
14 years in prison for killing a father in front of his son. Idk why drunk drivers only ever get manslaughter. Driving a 5000 lb truck while under the influence???? pretty clear what their intent is
She wasn’t drunk. She was high on drugs.
@@bubgum00Just as bad
Tomato, Tomato. Same difference
@@bubgum00Not everything is about you 🤡
Vehicular manslaughter is a trash charge...I knew a dude who blew a 0.12 and killed someone....somehow only got 1 year in prison....he somehow managed to get a job where I worked witch was mind blowing (we made Kevlar, fire retarded insolation, turrets for tanks and hummers as well as the armor they put under them for ied's and mines....also made alot of wire harnesses for the bowing x-48) he worked 15 min told 3 people he was a scumbag and got fired immediately.....HOW DO YOU TELL 3 PEOPLE IN 15MIN ON YOUR FIRST DAY (of any job let alone one you absolutely shouldn't have for obvious reasons felons and military contracts are a hell no) but how do you even start that conversation....WHY DO YOU START THAT CONVERSATION....Anyway sorry that turned into a rant
The woman who said" just" a CNA needs to reflect on that day now and realise what she did. Be proud of the training and we all hope you went on to do more. Did the actual driver say she was not driving? RIP to the poor man whom lost his life and i hope all family, friends and those whom witnessed have the support they need even now.
Well she did say student so that's probably what she meant by "just". She said I'm just a CNA student.
She definitely should have left out the word just.
You’re probably one of those people who talk down on people on other videos when they say they’re nurses but actually CNA. Now you want to praise them because others in the comment section did the same.
The student successfully maintains a pulse on what is essentially a corpse until the paramedics arrive; if he had any chance at all, she essentially gave him the greatest chance possible.
Thank you so much for what you do, you're the best of the best people.
❤❤❤ She is amazing! ❤❤❤
She never asked about the riders. Props to the officer that shook his head for seeing the same thing. As for the officer that made sure to make as much noise as possible while documenting the charges..... pay attention man. Little things can make a big difference. If you are the one with the cam, then make sure you get all the audio, and video you can. The woman who gave CPR, Bless you for stopping, and doing that. Everyone who gets that training is told, and knows they never want to have to use it. Thank you for doing your best to help another person in need.
To the CNA who was a saint and went above and beyond, doing everything she could……….. God Bless You Sweetheart,…. You’re exactly in the field you need to be in, and you went above and beyond!!!!!❤ 🫶
She deserves an award.
@@Callmeonmyshell13 yes ma’am. She wasn’t giving up on him. Bless her soul.

@ she literally was trying to fight to keep an innocent life from dying. So yeah, she’s a saint of a human being. And I do worship Jesus, every single day. You don’t bother me.
19:00 That POS has the nerve to ask if her truck was drivable. You can see how much it upset the officer.
Lol not upset enough to put down his big gulp. He looks as upset as any drive thru burger enjoyer
@@DylonCorpit was a Styrofoam cup, and the lady who just killed some one was asking about the condition of her truck before the person she hit.
@@DylonCorpPretty sure he’d have thrown it at her if he could have.
@@digey and you could see that the cop was so shocked and hurt that he took another big slurp of his Big Gulp. Cops think it's funny when someone dies on their shift. It gives them something to talk about at the bar before they go home and beat someone
@@DylonCorp Are you drunk? That made no sense whatsoever.
That woman giving CPR did her very best and I hope she knows she did everything she could.
I've lost 3 people to DUI drivers. THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT IT'S A DECISION. Don't drug , drink and drive
Cna student doing solo CPR is impressive, I'm glad the officer was offering encouragement for her efforts. I'm sorry for the person who died, all his loved ones, any and all the witnesses, the person doing CPR compressions and all the responders to the scene.
Drunk lady ... nope. Of course she isn't injured, unfricking believable. She needs serious jail time for taking a life.
Edited to add... just realized when I saw the officer's uniform... I remember this accident. It occurred just a few miles away and was all over the local news and social media.
Just finished watching the ending ... glad/relieved to hear she was sentenced to serve some real jail time. Unfortunately it won't bring the deceased back but hopefully his family will rest a little bit knowing for the foreseeable future his killer is off the streets.
I was surprised no alcohol on her system, but I suppose she had enough other drugs in her those completely annihilated her senses, and even more brain cells.

You commented before watching the video to the end. If not you would have gotten the information that she was setenced to more than 175 months in jail (over 14 years) and got a lifetime suspension of her DL.

@@lisaann9751 Don't worry, you're not the only one 😂😂
99% of the comments are to the CNA, but kudos are also due to the officer and other witnesses. What a horrible thing to experience!!!
Thank you for mentioning that ❤
I can't understand a word she's saying 🤨
Even the closed captions can't decipher.
Her brain wil never recover from what she put it thru
The rest of her life will be hazy
You have to be drunk , then everything she's saying well be understood !
There is no excuse to drive drunk or high on drugs. She ended the life of someone because she didn’t want to call an Uber, a taxi, a friend, or family member. What she did is unforgivable. I was a paramedic for 10 years and an RT for 5 years before going on disability. I’ve been to many cardiac arrests including one caused by a drunk driver and she didn’t survive. This CNA student did her best to try to save this man and I hope she continued to work in healthcare. She gave this man an increased chance of survival by stopping and doing CPR. Doing CPR especially for the first time is very scary and I remember doing CPR when I was a paramedic student for the first time. Since that day and the last day I worked in healthcare I’ve probably done CPR about 50 times including twice on children which is nerve wracking. One was only 3 years old after he was accidentally run over and the other was a premature baby born in a car. Neither survived. I have patients that I lost that was so traumatic to the point I considered finding a new career but I stuck with it until I couldn’t do I any longer due to my own health problems. My life was saved by my coworkers before when I went into anaphylactic shock and I was nearly intubated in the field. I’ve had a couple other critical illnesses and I was close to dying. It’s so scary and I’m not sure which scared me more. Being the patient facing death or working as a paramedic where I was running the code and intubating, putting in an IV or an IO, shocking the patient, administering the medications, and so on. The most important person on scene wasn’t me doing that but it was the EMT and first responders doing all of the chest compressions when I was the only medic on scene which meant that I was in charge of the code and my partner and first responders did all of the CPR. CPR is the most important job at a cardiac arrest. I have done CPR many times myself including on both children but I was able to switch out with my partner but if it was only my partner and myself at a cardiac arrest and my partner was an EMT-B and not a paramedic it meant that they did all of the CPR themselves which could last 45 minutes depending on how long we had to be on scene and how long it took to get to the ER. We had a saying in EMS. The paramedic saves the patient and the EMT-B saves the paramedic and that is 100% true. Without my partners I couldn’t do my job!
To the CNA, what you did was remarkable. You stopped and tried to save this patient. Very few cardiac arrests survive even when it happens in the hospital and nurses and doctors are at the bedside in under 2 minutes. She is what everyone wants. Someone who will stop to help someone even when she isn’t on the clock and getting paid. Good job!
