The do happen

I was 15 and we were driving back from the beach. I fell asleep and a car overturned in front of us. Three teenagers were thrown from the car into the road. One stayed with the car and then got out and ran up the road and collapsed after the car stopped. My father stopped and we jumped out. One of the teenagers was dead. That was obvious. Another had his legs crushed. The guy who ran up the road died while we were there. The last guy had his brains spilled out on the road. We had an ice chest in the back seat of our station wagon and got it and soaked a towel and tried to push the guys brains back in his head. The brains had mixed with sand and gravel and we weren’t sure what to do. There wasn’t much blood, just brains and grit.
