Janna went to drop Cian off at school. She said she was tired but I was busy with Diana and Noel, so she just went anyway. So, I finish up what I'm doing with the kids, feeding them breakfast yada yada. I was about to do the dishes. I was filling up the sink and I saw Janna speed by very fast and she didn't stop. She went and hit the neighbors car and smashed into a tree. I put on my shoes and rushed outside. She was unconscious at the wheel, the windshield was shattered and she was bleeding profusely from the head. The neighbor next door and the lady across the street both rushed outside. I said someone needed to call 911. In this time, Janna woke up and was like, "I'm fine, I'm fine!" and she tried to get out of the car. Troy (my daughter's boyfriend) and Gareth came outside. The lady next door, let's call her E, called 911. The lady across the street, M, was talking to Janna, trying to keep her calm and I was trying to keep her in the car....until...it caught on fire. Troy and I pulled her out of the car and Gareth ran inside to get the fire extinguisher. M also ran to get hers. Someone from a few houses down, let's call him B, came out with his and the three were trying to get it out. It got worse, so Troy and I dragged Janna away from the car in case it became totally engulfed. Police got there first, they had extinguishers in their cruisers and started to help contain the fire. Gareth's extinguisher ran out and he sat next to Janna and told her to keep breathing deeply and to stay calm. Then the fire department got here. Usually the fire department is trained in emergency health services such as being a paramedic and while the other firefighters started working on the car, one of them came over and started to work on Janna. EMS got here and Janna complained that her leg hurt but couldn't move it, her neck hurt and it was obvious she needed to have stitches on her forehead.

From what Janna said, she doesn't remember it. She said that she remembers coming up the street but she doesn't remember anything from about two houses down. The police took records blah blah blah. I was so worried about Janna. And, just, all the blood on her face was horrifying. I'll admit, I'm a wimp with blood and I gagged several times and had to look away at some points to contain my gagging.

I waited in the ER waiting room for three hours just to see her. They had to take her into surgery. She was told that she had broken her leg in multiple places, her knee was screwed up, she had a broken rib, which punctured and collapsed her lung, she broke a vertebrae in her neck and obviously she had laceration wounds on her head.
