Involved in accident after Mama Mia!

omg, it should be a happy day for me.
but the accident spoiled my mood.

i went to watch mama mia musical in Pantages Theater, located at Hollywood.
the musical was so nice and ABBA songs were so good.
even though my seat is quite far from the stage but because i sat at the balcony level so i can still see it clearly.
the architecture of the theater is also really nice, the theatre is kind of "the phantom of the opera" style.
the performance was so amazing and i enjoyed the show.
everything was so great until on our way home.

coz i went with my apartment resident, so basically those who don't have transpont will tag along those who have car.
therefore, I rode on someone's car, and i didn't know the driver until today.
because this Mama Mia musical is organized by our residence.
we can buy the ticket in really cheap price, only USD 10 and transportation is provided by car pool.
as the drivers are the students in USC, so it is safe.
i joined this kind of activities before, so today juz like another normal outing for me.
as we reached some where near our apartment, the driver missed our apartment entrance.
so he need to do a big turn at the next road to go bac to our apartment.
just as he turn into another road, suddenly the passengers in the car (but not the driver) screamed.
I was sitting behind the driver seat so i could not see anything.
before i figure out what was happening, the next thing i saw is somebody crashed on the windscreen.
it was f*cking scary, it happened so sudden, all i saw was something knocked on the windscreen and the windscreen cracked.
the accident happened around 11.20pm. i was so shocked and stunted, it was so terrible.

the driver get down and checked out the victim.
a guy in our car called the police and the driver behind our car also helped out.after i get off the car, i did not feel scared.
i think i not really feel anything at that time.
i was shivering but i m not sure is because of the weather or because of the accident.
i saw the victim from far and i think the victim is seriously injured.
his right foot is broken, the leg bend into the shape that normal human leg can't.and his hindbrain is injured too.
the driver who helped us keep talking to the victim to make him stay concious.

the fire department reached really fast.
2 fire trucks and 1 fire deparment ambulance arrived in less than one minute.
LAPD reached after this, while the police officer was taking down the statement from the driver who helped us, the fire department rushed the victim to the hospital.
after that, more officers reached at the scence.they started to do their work, like taking photos, estimating the speed at the time, measuring the distance, checking for the hit marks.
the officer also asked us to leave the contact to LAPD but because we are passengers so he also said we will not in trouble.
we stayed at the scence for approximately 45 minutes, freezing in the wind (temperature is still cold at night in LA).
after the officer allowed us to leave, we walked back to our apartment.

i think i am somehow lucky cause i could not see anything as the driver blocked my view.
but according to the girl sat in the middle, she said the victim ran out from the roadside to cross.
the officer also said the victim was illegaly crossing the road.
there is no traffic light, no perdestrain crosing line, no pedestrain crossing sign.
even though the victim might be have fault but i think the driver was not completely right.
he was not really focus when he was driving.
he was talking to us and because the music a bit loud, he need to turn his head to the right so tat we can hear him.

it was such a horrible night.
everything was so nice at the begining, this is my first musical and the accident ruined the night.
omg, i m still a little bit of nervous.
omg.hopefully the victim is alright. god bless him.
drivers must drive carefully, the accident was so scary.
omg, now i really won't forget my first musical.
it was such a long night.
