6:50- toned to an injury from a fall. 90 year old woman. When I heard fall, I was thinking of somebody falling off a roof or something. The woman had fallen in the bathroom and hit her head. She was bleeding a little from the head. We put a collar on her and took her to Franklin.
8:00- toned to a medical alarm activation. It was a false call (the woman had been sleeping) and I think we ended up just scaring her more.
9:05- We received a call from highway patrol about a motor vehicle accident. It was a very complicated call, to say the least. On the way, we saw a green truck (without license plates) driving towards us, and when it saw us it turned around and followed us back to the scene. The people in that truck ended up being 2 of the people involved in the crash. What supposedly had happened was that there were 2 cars involved in a head on collision. Car 1 had one man, and Car 2 a man and a woman. They hit head on, seriously injuring the woman in Car 2. The man in Car 2 went down the road to get another car and then he and the woman started to drive to the hospital. When they saw us they turned around. The man in Car 2 took the woman out and put her on the ground. She had 2 big lacerations on her head (she had broken through both layers of glass and plastic on the windshield) and was bleeding profusely. "She's going," somebody said and I thought 'I'm going to see this person die.' I tried to keep calm and do whatever I was told to do. We wrapped her head in gauze, put a collar on her and back-boarded her. During this, I held c-spine and then we loaded her and headed toward FRH. I kept talking to her to keep her consious. Her level of consciousness came in and out, with a downward trend. We called for the Dart and transported her to FRH. She was in a tough state. With an MOI of 'trying to stop her forward motion with her head' she wasn't looking too good. Her fiance was taken to the hospital by Tilton-Northfield and the driver of Car 1 was taken in for blood tests. The Dart arrived and they lifted her out. We have not heard any news, but everybody seemed to be calling us to see what happened.

Car 1 is the Dodge sedan and Car 2 is the red pick up. In the left picture, you can see the white spot on the windshield is where the woman put her head through.

We later found out how much more complicated the situation was. First of all, all 3 people worked together. Car 1's driver owned an auto dealer and Car 2's driver worked for him. The woman was the fiance of Car 2's driver and also the secretary at the dealer. Car 2 had skid marks about 75 feet long leading up to the crash, but Car 1 did not have any. As you can see in the first picture, Car 1 had driven all the way across the yellow lines and Car 2 was all the way in the break down lane. Both drivers reported to have seen "an animal run across the road" ("something like a mountain lion") and had swerved to avoid it. Car 2's driver at first denied to have left the scene, even though there was evidence that he obviously had. He came on to the scene at the same time we did in the ambulance, but the car he was in was untouched. He reported later that he had 'borrowed it' from somebody. We found out that it had come from the dealership. Also, the red pick up involved in the crash, belonged to the driver of Car 1. Later, when the police were investigating, they found Meth and Cocaine in Car 1. This was no accident. Were they playing 'chicken' to see who would swerve first? Or were they trying to hurt somebody?
My first car accident! It was a very exciting day and all the calls happened before lunch. It's a good sign when you don't want to leave at the end of the day.
