Lake City Car Accident

Yesterday when driving home from work. I was stuck in stop and go traffic when I noticed traffic ahead of me stopped and one car behind them didn't stop or even slow down. I was on the telephone with a co-worker and I said Jed, there is going to be a terrible accident. That's when the car hit the stopped car and that car hit the car in front of it. I pulled over off the road and when to the center car which smashed both front and back. I asked female if she was okay? She said yes. I then went to the front car (mini-van) asked the driver, "are you OK?" Yes, she said. Then she told me she was on he way to the ER with her special needs child. I asked what was the condition of the child. She opened the side door to the minivan. Here I found a very young boy in a wheelchair. I asked him, How are you doing? He told me he was OK. I then went to the last car in the accident asked the driver if he were OK. Same answer he was fine. The girl in the middle car was becoming upset more of a state of shock. It was cold out this morning. I notice her jacket in the car and asked he to put it on. She thank me for doing this. She then make a cell phone call to someone and began to cry. At this time everyone seemed stable so I called 911 to report the accident and get aid to the child that was in route to the hospital. At this time I was unable to determine why they were going to the hospital. About this time I realized the white car was still running and smoke was beginning to come out of the hood of the car. I had the girl turn it off for fear of a car fire. The police were first on the scene. They took my information and let me go. It was an exciting morning after a long night of the newspaper.
