All too true, Oldie. I spent a career seeing tragedy up close and personal. A person’s life can be turned upside down in literally a moment. Hell, it happened to me when I was a kid.
Bangarang Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 I’ve never heard of paramedics amputating anything at the scene of an accident.

Holy crap. I have 2 teenage sons that just started driving. That is so scary. Thank God he survived. regarding Norton, very happy he survived but survival will be bittersweet for awhile because it cost him his livelihood, and likely his “identity” at this time. I hope he has strong people around him... Edited July 4, 2019 by buffaloboyinATL 3

Terrible Supposedly the other involved car was a Maserati, which doesn't surprise me based on the drivers up here in the Toronto area. 23 minutes ago, NewEra said: Such a sad event. I hope he can move on with his life. Rumor has it that the EMTs were on the patriots payroll Is this supposed to be a tasteless joke? 1
