Another sad story. You're right. not good, but definitely avoidable.FFEMT1764 said:Not good...but looks like it was unavoidable, as we all see how people forget how to drive in inclement weather every day. I hope that this reminds everyone to take proper safety precautions when assisting people off duty, i.e., use your flashers, wear reflective gear if you have it, and try to protect the accident scene with your vehicle...and always be cautious when using flares.
people do forget how to drive in bad weather. Bad weather brings out the worst in already bad drivers. maybe if the guy was driving with due regard to conditions in the first place instead of barreling along at highway speed ( wet roads = slow down), this could have been avoided. Speed kills.
No accident is non-avoidable in my book. (OK, almost no accident, there is the occasional deer that's just gotta get stupid. It's in their nature )
Oh, and drinking and driving??? you must be totally insane if you think I'm going to have ANY sympathy for you if you do and get into an accident as a result ( although you will be treated like any other pt in the back of my truck) or get caught. I'd rather you get caught though, honestly, before something bad does happen.
And I cannot stress this enough:
remember scene safety!!!! ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings!
Take necessary precautions as appropriate.
