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.
Wow hard to believe people don't wear their belts these days, very sad.
I love working fatals.
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... :(Quote:

That's a pretty bizarre statement.Quote:

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.Quote:

I hope you're okay. :(

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.Quote:

Its not Steve's Towing is it? There are the towing company of many places in Rancho....I have been towed a couple times for street sweeping day in my community by Steve's....$350 to get it out the very next morning when they opened...FML...Quote:

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!!Quote:

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.
