Car accidents are stressful

Doe and I were driving home from a Dr's appointment on Monday. Here's what I posted on my Facebook page about what we saw. 

First on the scene of a car accident. We were eastbound on intersection of Horsetooth and Lemay. Stopped behind a stalled pickup at the stoplight. Compact car going westbound on the other side of the median slammed on brakes. Woman behind stopped westbound car slams into back of car going about 40 mph and pushes stopped car about 500 ft. We saw the whole thing...I thought the car was on fire with so much smoke from airbag. Smoke from hood and interior pouring out the car...Woman who rear-ended car 37 weeks pregnant airbag deployed into her chest thankfully not her stomach kept asking for help...I opened up the car door and asked her name, got her phone and called her husband...wanted to cry because her belly was having a massive Braxton-Hicks contraction. Got her to calm down her breathing. Doe held her little dog. I called her husband and the B**CH who stopped in traffic called HER INSURANCE COMPANY. I'm yelling at her CALL 911 and she's like "Hold on Hold on"....asked the injured woman WHAT MAKE OF CAR HER CAR WAS. Still don't know who called 911...
Stalled car? White pickup truck. Woman who had stopped in traffic? Pickup truck's mother. Woman who was too busy to call 911 because she was calling her own insurance agent? Pickup truck's mother.
If that is not a testament to the EVIL in mankind.
I hope Carla is going to be okay. I am glad she was conscious throughout the whole thing. And I hope that rear-ended woman gets the book thrown at her for obstructing traffic. Gave Carla's husband my contact info...
Giving you all the deets in case someone sees something I should have done differently. Never seen that before. 


Here is a copy of the report Doe filled out to give to the police investigating the accident. She is not a fan of the woman driving the first vehicle.

Update: Joan, the woman who stopped in the middle of 40mph traffic, was cited for impeding traffic. Carla, the woman who had no choice but to slam into the back of her, is being told her insurance will pay for nothing. I told Carla's husband I would help in whatever manner possible. 




I think Doe was a little upset, No?
