A second accident occurred at 5 p.m. on the southern side of the same intersection in front of the Giant Crab Seafood restaurant, Collins said. A car turned onto U.S. 17 and, failing to yield to traffic, collided with the motorcycle, he said.

Collins said he could not comment on any injuries resulting from the crashes.

All I could find on it...

At least he had a helmet on, but 35-40 is fast when you're talking about your body hitting something solid.

Call your local FD, they can help you out with Post Traumatic Stress.

I was a FF at one point, and saw many of these type things, most go away after a while, but a few will stay with you forever. Thats just the way it is.

Good Luck.

Is this the buffet restuarant with the giant crab on the roof?

Even in a car, I never try to turn against traffic on that stretch, you're best just going down to the nearest intersection and pulling a U-turn.

Yep. Seems like they have a van or something out front with a crab on it, too.

consider it Beaux...the training is excellent and most of the experiences are very rewarding, there's nothing like helping your fellow man in his time of need. Fortunately, depending on where your hall will be, the really really bad experiences are few and far between, typically! You do grow immune to some of it.

I applaud any of you guys who have to deal with situations like this frequently (firefighters, EMTs, police, etc.).

I've often thought off becoming a volunteer firefighter, but I don't know if I could deal with some of this stuff. Especially Hawk's story about the girl. :(

You can deal with it, everyone can, some just can compartmentalize better than others. It's really a matter of IF you want to have to deal with those sights/memories/scars.

You can still be very helpful to your local FD's and RS's, just donate your time to them, or see if you can join the "F Troop".

Some places will let you join and do things like help with prevention, cooking during the meetings, going to the schools, etc....not everyone on a FD likes running into burning buildings, and cutting people out of cars.

There is a volunteer Fire Department walking distance from my house, and I have though about joining. Seeing disturbing stuff hasn't bothered me since I saw crime scene photos when I was working for America's Most Wanted. That's not what made me think better of it.

What scared me was the volunteer firefighter fatality statistics. What really shocked me was how far down the list "fire" was on the cause of death. The far and away #1 killer was car accidents.

Ditto. I couldn't do stuff like that for a living, it would drive me insane.

My friend is a Paramedic. I have to stop her telling me stories about her job - I've no idea how she does it.

Yeah I have a friend who is an EMT in Oakland who does the same thing to me. We'll be talking about a movie or something, and then from left field comes a story of the latest shotgun wound victim.

Many FD's allow men and women as young as 16 to join, hence the massive amount of accidents.

Join, you will meet some great people, and learn some life skills that you can't get anywhere else.

yup!

on a side note, many doctors/cops/firemen/paramedics have alot of serious drug and alcohol problems as well....that's their way of dealing with what they see and do all day.

Almost all of them develop an extremely warped sense of humor to deal with it too.

For me, I found that my skin just got real thick for most things I would see. Kids are always going to be hard to deal with. I've seen some poo that would make the average person puke uncontrollably and not have it bother me at all.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
