Crazy accident on the QEW

Happened just a minute b4 I got there. Heading west to Sauga, an older suv crashed on the QEW. Don't know how it happened but I know that he must have been going fast. It just started raining so the roads were slippery. Probably hit the guardrail and flipped upside down. The roof was even with the door handle
When I passed by the cops just got to the scene. Hope everyone was OK

Just another reminder to drive with caution

Ya, being on the 401 around Chatham a lot, I've seen many many of these accidents... last time I was coming up a car with MI plates coming Westbound decided he was gonna cross the ditch so the car went flipping end over end. I called the ambulance, and she was like is the guy hurt... I'm like he's bleeding from pretty much everywhere... she asked me to do something, and I was thinking what if this guy as like AIDS or friggin mad cow or something ... well by that point there were lots of ppl around, so I had done my job... I bailed out.

well biggy, I was the first one there... and called the ambulance... from there the traffic was stopped dead cuz there was a car on it's roof blocking both lanes, and **** from the trunk was all over the lanes cuz the latch let go. So as soon as I stopped, there was like another 100 cars immediately behind. LOL I just happened to be the first one there with a phone or something

well done bbarbulo......


I've called 911 once for a car driving in the left lane of the express swired to the right most lane then back and it the wall at around 100km/h and just spun I was in the right most lane and this dude passed within 2 or 3 feet of my car (I was driving the minivan at the time) I called 911 reported the accident and said I didn't stop to check up on the guy because I didn't think it would be safe to stop on the highway....

Reminds me of an accident I witnessed on the way home from work a few weeks ago. The car in front of me basically didn't touch her brakes at all and plowed right into the stopped traffic. Since I was behind and witnessed all this, I pulled up behind the accident put on my hazard lights and called 911. The 911 operator kept asking me if anyone was injured and I told her I couldn't tell, I tryed asking people, but none of them would say anything (I guess they were in shock). Basically, I told her to send an ambulance since I'm no doctor and can't tell if these people are injured, which I assumed at least someone was since the airbags went off in one of the cars. I can understand that 911 doesn't want to send ambulances to every accident call, but how do they expect me to judge how badly people are injured if at all.

Couple years back when my parents were driving back from Wasaga we had to call 911 when we seen a blue tarp on the side of the road with something wrapped up in it. It looked like it was dumped on the side of the road. We kept driving because I was young at the time but my dad called the cops and told them everything. We were about 95% it was a body

I'm sure it wasn't a body rice... who wraps a body in a BLUE trap... might as well just put a sign on it... "Dead Body" LOL like that Simpsons Episode where Bart has a broken leg and is spying on the neighborhood, and he sees someone take out a thing out of the freezer and it says "Human Head" on it... but frost was really covering the rest of the letters LOL
