Accident

tonight, around 22, i was driving back to my office from a evening meeting when i saw in a curve a car up and down on the road, another car stopped with warnings and a guy outisde with a phone in his hands and nothing more. i stopped 100m after them, put my yellow vest from work, took my phone and went up the curve from the other direction in order to warn the other cars driving here.

i thought like that: one guy was calling, it should be police, ambulance and stuff. So i will call the information center for accident from the swedish road administration. i did this and when i was talking to a lady there, they received an alarm from the ambulance telling about the same accident that i was telling about.

and after 10 min maybe came the ambulance, the fire brigade, the police and i was still on the road, warning the cars coming. one fire man asked em what i saw, when i came ehre and told me to stand there and to keep doing this work until he would come back to me.

So i stood there like 40 min, the dark came and stuff, and i realized how good it is to have XXL vest (which is of course 43938 times too big for me). anyway, the ambulance went back with a person in (there was just one person in this accident), they moved the car from the road and the fireman came back to me, asked what i saw once again and then the police did the same thing but the other guy was most interessant for them.

the guy from the accidented car seemed ok they told me (not dead at least and not in danger to die either).

afterwards, when i was driving home, i thought how strange it can be. i mean, when it happened, i did not think, i just did things that i felt were good. I did not even talk to the other guy, i was just trusting him: becuase he stopped and had the phone on the hear, for me, he was calling the rescue. pretty strange to think that maybe i helped in a situation and did “the right things” just without thinking (except the too much trusting the calling guy maybe). Somehow, it must be printed somewhere that this is just the way to act.

ah well, in a way, i was pretty chocked also if i did not even see the accidented man. i hope he is well.
