But could you imagine the hysterical 3 minute call i got from my girl before showed up to the scene?
Could not make out what my girl was saying what so ever and fire fighter got on the phone and said i need you to come down now to this XYZ intersection now. Then hung up.
I was like WTF?? So i went and saw all of the emergency vehicles blowing red lights past me to that location. My heart sank. Started dry heaving in my car at the red. Then i caught 2 more reds and saw the intersection from the distance with all of the emergency vehicles. Threw up my coffee and bagel before i got there.
Was praying "Please don't let me see 2 white sheets covering 2 little bodies, Please, Please, please!!". And i don't pray.
The most difficult 8 min. of my life. You cant even imagine, unless you have kids. And even then, you don't want to.:2 cents:

1) that lac truck was probably built to not absorb much of a rear end shock due to seats being so close to the rear end. imagine if there were kids in the back of it, too, and it crumpled like the chevy truck did.
2) front ends ARE indeed designed to actually fold up like an accordion to absorb the impact of a front-end collision. Thank god for that!

Also, since I quoted this message, I have to say that I DO fear my fiance driving alone one day and I get a call like this. It's a terrifying THOUGHT, let alone how terrifying it would be to actually have it happen to you, so I can't imagine how you felt.
I dont have any children at the moment, and I am thankful for it after seeing my sister in law deal with her demon, but I already feel the same way about my (future) kids and showing them that they have both parents in the same house that love them and would do anything in the world for them in an instant. I didn't have any of that growing up but even though I don't have kids yet, I know how I WANT to raise them to make sure they have everything in their childhood that I didnt' have growing up.
I am so glad nothing happened to your kids or your girlfriend, man. I have no clue who you are but for some reason I do feel for ya, and even if you dont believe in heaven or hell there was definitely a guardian angel flying somewhere nearby that day!
On another note, I was in a hit and run about 5 years ago. I was driving on a main street in the city and going around a bend in the road. I'm listening to some music heading to my fiance's work to pick her up. Next thing I know my fucking truck is upside-down, sliding across the street, and all my shit on the seats and floor were now next to my head. I shut the truck off, got out, and the mother fucker who hit me fled the scene as well. Turned out this son of a bitch didnt have insurance, and ran so he didn't gt in trouble. My goddamn truck is upside down bout to fucking blow up and he just runs, not checking to see if he just got hit with vehicular manslaughter????? My woman got a call very similar to this one I was able to find my phone. I didnt want to scare her so I asked her to get the fuck out of work and come to the scene, but I was okay and needed her there. I could only imagine what went thru her head, poor girl! She had to feel so helpless because she had no way to get to me and it was 2 miles away, and she started walking to the scene from her work, and a cop picked her up for me.
So, I feel strongly about this situation and wish that this fucking cunt gets the wrath of god brought down on her!
