good for stopping matt...i had the same shit happen to me right after x-mas when i witnessed a car roll several times and an elderly man ejected....no drinking involved...just a long trip and driver error. but you really dont think about blood... i got to him and he was bleeding and unconcious. and u do what ur instinct says and after your adreniline is gone its like damn i hope he didnt have a disease. but good job to you.

 

Good job for helping out.

I believe a majority of the story. The only thing I'm kind of skeptical on is the UC putting a gun to this guys head. Yes, I can see the adreneline rushing and whatnot as he was trying to chase this guy down, but I would imagine that the cop would be a little more "professional" with the situation.

 

I doubt Matt has any reason to lie about any of it.

Absolutely insane story, Matt! Congrats on not being involved in the accident, and really congrats for not seeing anything TOO greusome. *shudder*.

**EDIT: I'm forwarding your story on to my office and safety officer. She uses stories like this to tell the tale of what drunk driving is really about! Thanks, Matt.

 

Shit the guy almost killed people, fuck professionalism at that point.

 

agreed

 

I'm sure he doesn't. But I find it a little unbelivable that a cop would come up and put a gun to someone's head like that, no matter what the circumstances were. The cop should be concerned about preserving life and controlling the situation, instead of worrying about shooting someone.

Like I said, I congratulated him on helping out in the situation.

 

i've seen cops do dumber shit than that.

 

damn, thats crazy.

 

The cop didnt want the guy fleeing the scene. He was yelling, DONT FUCKING MOVE, YOUR UNDER ARREST!

So he really was just doing his job... the adrenaline had a lot to with it im sure.

Whether you believe it or not, I almost shit my pants when he put the gun to the guys head, lol.

 

I drove through there...shit was really really crazy man...there was more accidents after that too.....and then when I was coming home on shoredrive...some guy in an old Cresida? or something..the motor was on fire, And I pull over.

As I get out the car the Flames are getting bigger, and i was on the phone with the police and then the fire reached the fuel line and of course the fire had gotten worse, I told the guy NUMEROUS times to get away from the car and quit staring at it no matter how bad it sucked. Well by the time I pull him away the back half of the car was catching fire as well....not even a minute after we got back twenty feet from it...the car Emploded with flames and Exploded. It was Really Crazy. 264 had a nasty conjestion too it took quite some time to clean up that mess and tow the cars away. Glad the people that I saw were still alive.
