I was in my car yesterday (during the day) and rode by a car accident. One car had a tarp covering the vehicle. I assume it was because of a death. Their was a woman bawling and my mind started racing.

Have you ever been in a car accident where YOU killed the other driver, or the passenger, or children or whoever. Not because you were drinking, or speeding or at night being sleepy. It's just the middle of the day and you were just not paying attention, changing a radio station, picking up something from the floor, yelling or singing with a fellow passenger. Just doing something stupid and you hit another car. You don't assume the worst, but when the worst happens, how do you cope?

I can't imagine what goes through your mind when you try to go to sleep that night, knowing what happened earlier in the day.

Has anyone gone through this horrible experience?

yes, right in front of my parents house actually, my dad had a 79 buick sjylark, this lil ass 89 Nova comes barrelling over the bridge doing at least 100 hits my dad's car.and spins in the middle of the street, nopw the poor girl who was in the back seat was killed, they found her Head embedded in the back of the car.all i saw was her legs sticking out. i went into a shock and was running up and down the block screaming.iv'e dealt with death on many ocassion, but never ever this gruesome.

do you still see the images today? I don't know how you could erase those from your brain

the girl that sat in front of me in speech class let me borrow her Jon Bon Jovi tape (slipper when wet) and the next monday, I found out she had died in a vehicle accident. I always associate his music to her now.

I've had my share of accidents.....none were serious though. I think I would have a hard time dealing with being in an accident that killed someone else....especially if it was my fault.
