He slid the right side of his car into a ditch and when it hit a culvert, it flipped the car over, coming to rest on its roof.
The neighbor was mowing her front yard so she was first on scene. I was spraying weeds in the back so I was 30 seconds behind her. My daughter heard the crash from inside the house and came out with a phone and I instructed her to call 911 and get police and ambulance to the scene.
The car was mangled but the kid was able to climb out a window and thankfully he only had cuts and bruises. I got him a chair, a bottle of water and grabbed some baby wipes to start cleaning him up. Gave him a phone so he could call his parents and let them know so they could come get him.
First officer was there pretty quickly. Within 10-15 minutes, we had cop cars from 2 or 3 different towns on scene plus a few fire trucks. Ambulance took longer since they're coming from a couple towns away.
Once the emergency crews were there, I went back to my chores but returned to the scene every 15 minutes or so to pass out water bottles and see if they needed anything (like my tractor to flip the car upright).
Glad the kid is OK but his car is totaled. Couldn't help myself in letting his parents know that I have a car I want to sell that's probably in the kids price range.
