A former co-worker of mine was an EMT for a few years. He quit after he was called to a semi truck accident. The truck tried to stop suddenly or hit a barricade, I can't remember which, but the trailer dislodged from the rigging and shaved the top of the truck off. He said when they were able to get into the upper half of the cab which was pushed over the barricade by the trailer. The driver was obviously deceased. His legs and hips were somewhere in the bottom half of the truck a few dozen yards behind.
EMT's. Heroes all of them. I have passed a few accidents where the deceased had not been covered yet and just those things alone stay in my memory. I can't imagine pulling half a human being out of a truck cab.
