There's just been a...

...horrendous car crash near my house. I heard the most awful bang followed by a continuous car horn. I ran outside to see two cars completely smashed in a head on collision. Passersby were on phones, obviously calling the emergency services, so I ran further down the road and began to direct traffic away from the scene. Fifteen minutes later a policewoman arrived to tell me I was doing a brilliant job and asked me to continue until reinforcements could get there. She (kindly ) gave me a blue 'POLICE' sign to put in the middle of the road behind me and left me to it (for a further fifty minutes).....a few minutes later a distraught woman came rushing up to me crying, 'Where is my son....where is my son?' Horrible moment - the crash was just out of sight behind me. She was the mother of one of the drivers and was followed a short time later by a lad of about eighteen who ran sobbing up the road and into her arms. Now I've come indoors - the fire service are cutting one of the cars apart to get someone out.......I'm sitting here shaking. Poor family.
