Cant sleep after what I saw tonight.....Normal?

---

Tonight at a party, me and a friend were leaving, some car comes flying into the driveway and people get out screaming call 911.

We ask what happened, and get the response "Name" is down there laying in the road with blood coming from his head." I get on my cell phone and dial 911, and just immediately call for an ambulance, then procede to drive down this road.

I find someone I used to hang out with about 3 years ago, laying in the middle of the road, with lots of blood coming from his head, eyes closed, not moving, and shoes laying about 6 feet from him.

It was very shocking, then I find a car in a field, that looked like it hit a Mack truck, with the driver walking around stunned, again someone I knew. Find out from him, they hit water and slid into a ditch flipping the car about 30 feet from the road, about 40 feet from the boy in the road.

Find out "Name" wasnt wearing his seat belt, what an eye opener this is. Still on the phone, Im told to go to him, and check for a pulse and breatheing, I knew he was gone, but I did this anyway. As I walk towards him, Im just hoping for some sign of a pulse, only to find nothing, just a lifeless body, still warm, its just not sinking in, how weird this is to me. He felt alive, but just wasnt moving, like he was sleeping but wouldnt wake up...

I stay until the cops arrive and Im told to go home, I just cant seem to get the image of his face out of my head. Then Im called by someone who knew him, and I had to give the news that he was gone, I couldnt lie to her. Has anyone been through this? And know if this is normal, I cant sleep at all? Or have any good advice?

I just dont understand it, I mean why couldnt he have landed in the field, not the road? Or just worn a seat belt, its very sad.

Thanks...

ohh.. I wouldn't have been able to sleep after that either. Are you ok today? That is really terrible.. was the other guy ok?

The driver was walking around, kind of out of it...He had a huge cut on his hand, and some scratches and said his neck hurt. I just feel bad for him too, because he kept blaming himself.

It wasnt his fault at all, I just hope all goes well for him, he thinks he was going to go to jail, and that his life is ruined, and just the fact that he thinks HE killed his friend, its terrible.

oh hunny hugs i hope everything turns out ok for everbody. i wouldnt be able to sleep either i would be sick.

I wouldn't have been able to sleep either. I would have been in a state of severe shock, I'm sure.

Aw, dude I'm so sorry. It's ok that you can't sleep it might take a while for you to get over it. I hope everything goes well. I'd type more but I'm really tired so get better.

bro something like that happened to me. I used to live in an area where alot of people knew everything and it was all friendly and nice. When i moved a year had passed, I went to summer school and saw kids from my old school. I asked how it was back there, they knew who I hung out with and told me that one of my best friends killed his sister, stabbed her 9 times in the heart. I was really sad after this, later my friends said that another one of my good friends died in a car accident because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt......so many people have died since i've left thats 6 people taken away from me

I would not have been able to sleep either. Thats very tramatic. If it gets too bad, please make sure you talk to a councelor or if nothing else a close family member or friend.

that gotta suck so bad to see something like that hope u can sleep soon

I know you only want to share this story @_@. Anyways sorry to hear about that. Only time does the trick.

Thats a really brutal thing to experience, it is completely normal for you not being able to sleep. A guy im friends with was in a bad car accident were his best friend wasnt wearing his seatbelt and they got hit by a drunk driver and his friend went through the windshield and was left parapelegic. He still believes its his own fault.
