Last night Delizia came over for dinner at my house. And she parked her car on the drive way which is pretty stiff. Dinner went by, and we were chatting on the veranda when her car made a weird noise. We looked at each other and just shuddered. About 15 mns later, her car starts rolling down the drive way and Delizia springs on her feet, runs for her car and attempts to stop it from the back. Yeah she's crazy like that.
As a result she fell over and the car was stopped by a little bush further down the drive way. I hear a little cracking noise (the bush i suppose). She was litterally stuck under the tyre screaming in pain. I didnt know what to do. Run to the neighboors knocking on their door as hard as I could and yelling for help. Came back to the car, pressed the horn. No one's coming. I called Darren who was having dinner at Glen's and told him to get his ass over pronto cuz there had been an accident and Delizia was hurt. I grabbed a torch cuz it was dark and i couldnt see how bad she was.
I tried to push the car with all my might but couldnt get it to move one inch. It's a little Peugeot 205, but damn on a slope it's just way to heavy. And the handbreak was still pulled up. So i was pretty useless really.
I went over to her side and tried to comfort her that the guys were coming over and were gonna move the car.
She said her chest and shoulder were sore and that the car was getting to heavy on her leg, which was stuck between the tyre and a rock. She was really brave swearing alot, but real brave.
Finally they came over (Darren, Glen and Gaetan with Bina). They started asking questions and I just told them to shut up and move the car. I realize how mean I was now, but all I wanted was to get her out from under the car. My whole body was shaking and so was my voice. But they were very calm and eventually moved the car away.
i explained what happened and told them to call an ambulance cuz i didnt have the number. Luckily Glen had it entered on his mobile phone.
Meanwhile I rushed home, got her a towel to rest her head. She couldnt stand up, and remained lying on the back in pain. After 10 mns (which seemed like hours) the paramedics eventually got there. Checked her blood pressure and looked for broken bones. He thought she'd broken a rib. Gave her a dose of morphin and an inhaler thingy to ease the pain.
Bina called Delizia's Dad who came over. We took her to hospital in the ambulance. Once there we waited about an hour before we could finally get her to have an X-ray to check for internal damage. Turns out she didnt break anything thank God. She called this mornig and she said she can walk around but breathing still hurts. Got bruises all over too.
Last night I got back home at midnight and could hardly sleep. I kept thinking about what else i could have done and how i should've had a an ambulance phone number handy. Well, at least now I do.
