It’s a dark, snowy winter night. We approached a scene where there had been reported as a car accident with six passengers in the car. As we come upon the corner of North Walworth Road and Hwy 45, I notice a car flipped in the ditch. We begin to take inventory on the situation as soon as we arrive; the driver’s name is Donald Radkin, 35, he luckily only has minor cuts and bruises that appeared in his right upper and left upper quadrants. He reported that his wife, niece, and three kids were on their way home from a sporting event; he said that the roads seemed to be getting a little slippery but “nothing a superior driver can’t handle”, when all of a sudden an animal ran into the middle of the road out of nowhere (he wasn’t sure what kind of animal) and as he swerved away from the animal, his tires lost grip and rolled the minivan and his family into the ditch. While I was having a conversation with Mr. Radkin, the other officers monitored the rest of the family and returned to me with a report. Debra or Mrs. Radkin was sitting shotgun in the van, appeared to have a concussion, when the driver hit the brakes her cervical snapped back and her cephalon hit the dash board hard, she reported to have pain both ventral to her cephalic region and dorsal to her cervical. She does not remember anything that happened this evening. Victim three, Stephanie Walder, 14, was the niece of the family; she was reported to have three broken ribs, two from the right lumbar region, and one from the left hypochondriac region. She also has a fractured left pedal. The four was their son, Richard, 7, who has a piece of glass piercing deep through his right lumbar region of his adnominal region, possibly injuring the cortex. Victim five, Bobby, 5, seems to have a broken collar bone, inferior to the cervical region but superior to the thoracic. Lastly, victim six, Sally, 8, has only cuts and bruises that mostly appear on her left lower and upper quadrant, visible mainly in the crural, sural and femoral regions. She also may have a few broke phalanges in either (or both) the manual and pedal regions.

Bio 2: accident
Victim 1- he was able to walk away from the accident with just a few scratches on his forehead.
Victim 2-he only suffered minor injuries with a cut on the side of his head and a broken wrist.
Victim 3-she had a deep cut in her right leg and a broken collar bone.
Victim 4- he had a broken nose and a concussion. Also, a piece of glass stuck deep into his left shoulder.
Victim 5- she was unconscious with a fractured skull, crushed right leg and both broken forearms.
Victim 6- he had a broken lower back, both broken legs and one broken arms.
I arrived at the accident on that snowy day. What I saw there wasn’t pretty. 6 young adults looking to be all in their early 20’s got in a head on collision. Involved in the crash was a very large F-350 truck and a very small Toyota. There were 2 males and 1 female in the truck, and 2 males and 1 female in the Toyota. The young people in the truck had significantly smaller wounds than the poor kids in that little car. They all were transported to the ER and are being treated now.
The hospital report:
Victim 1- he is perfectly unharmed despite the insignificant scrapes and scratches on the anterior part of his cephalic region.
Victim 2- this young man suffered a deep gash on the lateral right side of his cephalic region that required 10 stitches.
Victim 3- she suffered a relatively deep inferior cut on her right crural region that had to be bandaged. She also has a shattered superior right collar bone, inferior to the cervical region, but superior to the thoracic region.
Victim 4- he has a medial injury to his nose that was shattered by the impact, and a superior concussion to the cephalic region of his body. Also, he has a piece of glass stuck deep within the right upper quadrant of his abdominal region.
Victim 5- she is still unconscious and has a fractured cephalon. Her right crural is shattered in the femoral region and needs pins.
Victim 6- he has a severely broken lumbar, both of his crurals were broken in the femoral region, and his left brachial was crushed.
They all survived from their injuries.
