Travelling down the busy freeway after light rain on Sunday evening I encountered my first car accident. Travelling at around 80 Kilometres an hour, the ute in front of me hit the breaks and I was forced to do the same. My wheelbarrow sized wheels locked up, I lost control and spun into the trees along the side of the highway. my car hit a pine tree head on, then was flipped into a larger pine which embedded itself in the side of my poor little daewoo, branches just inches from my face the whole accident happened on the side of the road, while emerging from the car I had to be careful not to be squashed by oncoming traffic. The car was a total loss but I luckily escaped with only a few cuts and aches.

Heres The Thing- Over 50 people would have seen me lose control and crash, way over 100 would have seen me stumble - crying, shocked and bleeding - from the car, and countless would have seen me sitting by the car alone and injured for the 20 mins I was there.NOT ONE PERSON STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS OK OR OFFER HELP!! a handful slowed down to stickybeak, all with windows up though. I called my own ambulance from my mobile phone, which I had to find back in the car (lodged under a seat) and called my own tow truck. If I were travelling down a highway and spotted an injured and alone 20yr old female by a fresh crash site - I would stop to help, But no one did, not a sole. What is wrong with people??!! I am so ashamed at humankind for this pathetic display of community.

Have any of you been in similar circumstances? Would you have stopped for me? Have you ever stopped for someone at the scene of an accident?
