logging road when you hear the sound of a motor further down the road.

strikes a man who was walking the other way.

rush over to see if he is okay. One of your friends has some first aid
training begins trying to control some major bleeding from the upper
leg.

through the man’s thigh and his leg may be broken. He needs an
ambulance! He has deep cuts over a foot long on each side of his leg.”
You offer to run down to the van you came in to press the medical emergency OnStar button and get help.
