Heroic antics

Scooter accident

I'm keeping this brief because I'm going straight down to the pub for a beer.

I just saw a scooter accident happen about fifty metres in front of me.  Two scooters collided with each other.  One man got up and walked away, the other had blood coming out of his mouth and nose and couldn't move.  I ran to the nearby chicken shop (his employers) and did a smack-bang action with my hands, which communicated what they needed to know.  Everybody ran outside and surrounded the injured man.  I felt a bit useless so I left, but then I got worried and came back.  It looked like he wasn't breathing.  Everyone around him was in shock.  Someone had called an ambulance.  I remembered my first aid and told them they needed to clean his mouth to establish an airway (with mime actions).  A woman from the shop ran back to get a towel.  I opened his mouth with my fingers and cleaned out some of the blood.  He made a noise.  I checked his breathing with the back of my hand.  I kept holding his jaw open until the ambulance arrived, then helped transfer him to a stretcher, then everyone helped load him into the ambulance, and he got taken away.  A little girl who was watching looked very upset.  I hope he is okay.  Curiously, there was only one ambo.
