Driver dead on arrival
Passenger
C collar in place, fingers trembling
Speaking on the phone
Mother saying
He didn’t make it
Passenger
Sobbing, squeezing my hand
Saying
It’s my fault
Is he really dead
Passenger
17 years old
Spine and pelvis broken
Wailing, screaming, shivering
I get a warm blanket
Saying
It’s not your fault
