The back window was smashed, and the car had rolled over onto its roof. I was fully aware, but my legs wouldnt budge.
Later, Rebecca would discover that she had fractured her pelvis in three places because of that accident.
Out of nowhere, a car came down the lane. Its headlights swept across Rebecca as she desperately tried to flag it down. She managed to shout that she was injured before slipping deep into unconsciousness. The motorist saw her and stopped at once. He got out, hurried over to check whether she was all right.
Rebecca was unconscious by then, but he could see blood pouring from her head and arms. He rang 999 immediately and stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. Its thanks to his quick actions that Rebecca made it through this harrowing ordeal.
I cant recall how long Id been unconscious before coming around, but when I did, I remember feeling a huge presence beside me. A woman strolling with her spaniel one evening suddenly collapsed to the earth.
She had suffered a heart attack and lay unconscious as her loyal pet stood vigil at her side. It wasnt until hours later that a passer-by discovered them and phoned for paramedicsby then, the lady had passed away.
There was another tale I remember hearinga gentlemans faithful terrier remained by his hospital bed for three days whilst he was in a coma, refusing to leave him even for a moment. The steadfast dog won praise as a true hero, proving himself indeed as mans best friend in the darkest of times.
