CPR

A detailed Summary of CPR


It's October 26, 2001 and you're driving on the 198 headed home. A speeding car passes you and cuts you off. You think to yourself what a jerk because two weeks prior you had just gotten a speeding ticket on that same freeway. Then suddenly the car that just cut you off loses control. His vehicle swerves and hits the center divider. You immediately pull over to the accident site. The driver of the car is not wearing his seat belt and is ejected out of the windshield. Blood is everywhere, you're in shock... What can you do?
