Hi, my daughter had a crash and ended up crashing into a tree. Her friend was in the passenger seat. She must have been knocked out as when she woke, she thought the car was on fire. She managed to wake her friend. The airbags had deployed, they could not open the doors or window. They managed to climb in the back and managed to open the window half way. My daughter climbed through and her friend pushed her from behind. Her friend then climbed through with my daughter pulling her out. They were in woods and managed to soldier crawl to the road side. Her right ankle was broken, her left badly sprained. Her right thumb was severed by the tendon and her left arm badly sprained. Luckily a couple seen the hazard lights in the bushes and stopped. They rang emergency services and the police turned up. They immediately handcuffed my daughter and breathalysed her. We arrived at accident just to be stopped as the police blocked the road. We were informed our daughter was fine as she had walked away from the car. We were not allowed to see her, the ambulance was called after 40 minutes. We got told she was being taken to the Police station and we would not be able to see her. We left and went to the hospital, my daughter arrived in the ambulance and had a neck brace on, she was severely bruised due to the seat belt. The police had 4 officers outside her room. She was charged with failure to give a sample. She could not urinate and later had a cathather fitted. She was told not to move her head as she needed a CT scan. The officer was questioning her and I had to put my hand on her forehead to stop her moving, the nurse was saying she needed her scan to rule out spinal injuries. I think she was treated terribly and if she had suffered spinal injuries, their actions could have paralysed her.
