this is heavy...my company hired 2 people to run their vendor staffed catastrophe units. I was one of them, and this girl was the other, so she is essentially my counterpart i guess is what you would say, we do the exact same job, we would see each other all the time and we talked on a weekly basis...

Man that's crazy.

I saw a picture yesterday of a guy who got in a head on collision with a semi. The car was totaled. What was crazy was that his face was flattened and his body cut in half with his guts and intestines hanging out.

the real effed up part is, we get to pick locations if we're both off...they call us both up and say something like "we have a disaster in Minnesota, which one of you wants the assignment" this was technically my turn, but we agreed i would take Chicago last December because she hated it there...

sorry to hear this.

As a tow truck driver I see this daily. I can only preach about seatbelts so much. And ppl will do what they want anyways. Some say that they are better off without it but thats not what the statistics show.

just down the street from me a few days ago some fool hit a guy and a girl, the guy ended up in his windsheild dead and the driver just drove home and went to sleep, then called the police 6 hours later

A Green Bay man accused of hitting two people -- seriously injuring one and sending another through the windshield of his car, killing him -- made his first court appearance for the incident Tuesday. And court documents reveal more about the incident.
Steven Warrichaiet faces four charges:

Homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle

Injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle

Hit and run resulting in death

Hit and run resulting in great bodily harm

The charges stem from the incident Sunday night on Green Bay's east side.

Officers say Steven Warrichaiet was drunk when he was driving to his home on Eastman Avenue and hit the two people on Elizabeth Street and drove off.

Police identified the victims publicly Tuesday as 50-year-old Tyrone Ware, who was killed, and 41-year-old JoAnn Carroll-Hildahl, who is in critical condition at St. Vincent Hospital. Both are from Green Bay.

Carroll-Hildahl was found laying in the road around midnight, after neighbors heard the crash and called police.

Police found Ware six hours later, partially through the windshield of Warrichaiet's car, after Warrichaiet called 911 saying he thought he hit someone coming home from a friend's house in Ashwaubenon.

The criminal complaint filed against Warrichaiet says as police approached the house, he "walked out of the front door and stated he was going to jail and began to cry."

It says he "was slurring his speech and had difficulty standing upright."

He told police he "remembered hitting something, and then a person coming through the passenger side of his front windshield."

"It took him approximately ten minutes to drive home." He went to bed, and when he woke up, "went out to the garage to check to 'see if it was a nightmare.'" But instead he found Ware's body still in the windshield, and called 911.

Warrichaiet told officers, "You hear about this on the news, and further stated he had called his sister just after it happened."

Police also interviewed a man who says Warrichaiet was at his house drinking before the incident. He said Warrichaiet left around midnight.

In the complaint, Curtis Goodchild says he "tried to coax Warrichaiet into staying and taking a nap but Warrichaiet would not. Warrichaiet left."

The prosecution asked for $100,000 bail for Warrichaiet, which the Brown County court granted. If he does post bond, the court says Warrichaiet cannot have any alcohol or patronize taverns or other places where alcohol is sold

in most cases i hate it when the court system racks up like 4 different charges for 1 crime and all the charges are related. however in this case, its two people and the guy deserves it.

but back on topic, that sucks bro. seat belts save lives, period. if your that paranoid that youll get stuck in your car and your seat belt wont come off, stick a knife in your center console or something so you can just open your console and grab it to cut yourself free. wont catch me riding without my seat belt. hell most of the time i dont even remember putting it on, its a habit thats burned into the brain. my girl used to hate wearing her seat belt. however after making her put it on a couple times, she now wears it everytime she gets in a car.
