to reassure myself to do the
right Christian thing. “Ok Destiny…it is clear somebody might be
back there…and if those sparks of light I saw are what I think they
are then someone is in deep trouble.” I sighed as I undid my seat
belt. “Now you have to do something or you will never be able to
live with yourself.” I said a quick prayer before slowly exiting
out of the car. I walked across the road into the damaged area.
There was a trail of tire marks that led straight up into the
trees. It didn’t take long for me to notice a smashed Nissan right
smack dab into an electrical pole. “Shit!” I shrilled. I knew it; I knew somebody was back here. My body started to tremble in fear, not knowing
what to do. Ok … ok calm down. I removed my blackberry from my pocket and dialed
911.
“ 911 operator how may I
help you?”
“ There’s been an accident
not too far from I-295, a car ran off the road and it looks
bad.”
“ Miss…Do you know if anyone
has been injured?”
“ I think someone is still
inside the vehicle.”
“ We are sending an
ambulance your way right now.”
“ Um…the car has hit an
electrical pole and there are sparks flying against the
hood.”
“ Are you near the car
Miss?”
“ Yes…”
“ Stay back until the
ambulance and police arrive.”
“ But I can’t just leave
them in there.”
“ Miss you must wait until
the police arrive so they can handle the situation…they should be
arriving there shortly ok?”
“ Ok…” I hung up the phone
and attempted to wait for the police. As the loose wires from the
pole continued to spark I debated going up to the car. “I could
just see if the person is alive…nothing is wrong with that.” I
assured myself. Against the operators orders I made my way slowly
to the car.
It was a busted up dark
Nissan that was completely damaged; the front bumper was split in
two, the window shield shattered, not to mention the dented side
doors. It was as if a tornado had hit it. “Hello…can anyone hear
me?” I called out but got nothing. The loose wire continued to
swing around the wooded pole like a rattlesnake on fire. I eased to
the driver’s seat and noticed a large figure there. His body looked
battered and he was bleeding from his arm and the side of his head.
“Oh God…” I gasped. “Sir…sir can you hear me?” He didn’t respond. I
peered in the car at the rest of the seats to see if any others
were with him. It appeared he was alone. I reached into the car
through the busted window to touch his neck for a pulse. It was
faint but still there making me glad that he wasn’t dead but still
cautious as to how to help him. I have to
do something , I thought. I reached for the
handle of his door and attempted to open it. It was very resistant
due to the accident but I managed to get it open. The man was
knocked out completely and was not responding to my attempts to
revive him. Ok, get him out of the
car , I thought.
As I moved in closer to him
the sparks from the pole dangled down to the hood of the car and
scared me back. Those sparks could ignite
a fire at any moment . My instincts kicked
back in and I attempted to get the wounded passenger to safety. The
man was clearly too large for me to carry him out but then again in
this dire moment what choice did I have. Maybe I should wait , I
thought. He could have a concussion,
broken bones, or something…it would be harmful for me to move
him . But from the way that wire was moving
around I knew I was all out of options. I placed his large arm over
my shoulder and began to shift him from out of the car. I thought I
had him for a moment until his dead weight came crashing down on
me. “Uh….my God.” I exclaimed as we landed on the ground. “You must
way a ton.” I took a much needed breath before dragging him back to
the road. “Ugh….this is going to take forever.” I continued to pull
him as much as possible…occasionally stopping to regain my
strength. We weren’t even
