The patient was in trauma arrest. Which means they probably had a heart attack while driving down the road. Which explains the swerving of the vehicle before the crash. Praying the victim is ok. But it sounds like they also might have lost a lot of blood. Prognosis doesn’t look good in my opinion. Praying for them. :(
@NikitaRitaa that’s not what trauma arrest means, it means the accident or blunt force trauma caused the heart to arrest.
It’s possible his blood sugar was extremely low. Maybe even stroke or heart attack prior to the accident
Imagine you knowing that truck and seeing it on here... Sending prayers that family
When I was in a very very bad accident few years back, my 3yo nephew at the time was watching the news with his great grams and the breaking news came on and Chopper was showing live view of the accident and my nephew recognized my car....it does actually happen
For god sakes the man was having chest pains when driving! Be respectful on here! he was having g a heart attack and thats why he was swerving. Why comment and you don't know the facts.
