This morning on my way to work I saw a an accident between a Toyota Corolla and a transfer truck (semi truck), head on collision and the 27 year old lady was pronounced dead at the scene. I decided to take the day off today. If these lady WAS wearing her seat belt, I'm confident she would be alive, but she wasn't. RIP.

Damn man. Sorry you had to witness that. For those that don't choose a career where this might be seen, they're never prepared when they do.

I have a close friend with the MISSOURI State HWY Patrol, he is in charge of this jurisdiction/troop for crash scene investigations for fatals... I don't know how people can do it... :(

I'm pretty sure he has to stay lubricated in his off hours to cope... I think I would rather have the Casino patrol duty...

Not bizarre. Fatals are money for me. I sympathize with the situation but im pretty numb to death. It doesn't bother me like it does 95% of the world. The Death ive seen in my life between iraq and the streets of southern california and its stupid drivers is more then any human being should ever see.

I'm so sorry you had to witness something so awful. It's things like this that remind me to tell my family and friends how much I love them.

I hope you're okay. :(

I'm in the towing and recovery industry. Its rare but I've had to use my heavy wrecker to lift cars off of bodies both live and decesed. Im not a first responder in its true definition but we are usually 3rd on scene and always there before the coroner. We don't handle the bodies the FD helps the coroner with that be we are there watching it all happen waiting to clear the scene of the mechanical carnage.

Hell NO!! Those guys are as crooked as they come. However, if there are signs posted and someone gets caught.... thats not my fault. It usually only takes one time but we gave multiple repeat customers ourselves. One place our private property guys like to go fishing is the apt complexes around the college in san berdo. The kids park in them skirting the campus pay lots. Its posted residents only with passes. The property manager tags upwards of 25 cars a day. What these kids pay us they could've bought a campus annual pass. Lol. Dumbasses!!

The red zone people make me laugh the most.

Its always the same story. I wad only there for 5 min and u got me. Ummmm no. It takes us 5 min to take the pictures we take the another 5 to hook ur shit up. Thats 10 min alone. Then we show them the pictures and say... here is a list of numbers to authorities. If u feel you were wrongfully towed u can take it up with them. Thats usually when the credit card comes out. Lol

Yeah, it really sucks seeing that. I took the day off and went to the shooting range. I feel bad for the family more than anything.

I witnessed a death in Azusa canyon and heard the death scream, from what I hear it comes from not liking what you see on the other side. True or not I'll never forget that sound. All he wanted to know is if he killed his buddy. His buddy had been dead for 20 mins. GO Ahead Drink and Drive.

This is my car, probably worse than the car she was in. I walked away with less than a bruise to my collar bone. I was wearing my seat belt.

Sad that people do not wear seat belts. I have a friend "rodeo tough guy". Doesn't need to wear a seat belt because he rides bulls and seat belts wrinkle his shirts. His day will come, and he will be missed.

Seat belts save lives. Unfortunately I had experienced it first hand. Wearing the seat belt, I still flattened out a Grant gt steering wheel, and bent the steering column up. I was hanging on for dear life. Seat belt still tried to give me a c-section, but it kept me from going under the dash. This was in a full size 1 ton, 4x4, crew cab , 86 Chevy dually. Engine went into the firewall, frame bent and taco. Police said it was good thing I was in a big truck.
