I was only a few vehicles behind when this accident happened. I can only tell you that the sun was not the factor in the accident. I have had so much time to sit and think about what had happened that day of the accident and to all the Japanese people that I met that day. I cry every time that I think of the woman that we tried to save but couldn't. I need you to know that she was not left alone. There were so many of us that stopped to help give CPR and to help pull people from the wreckage before the emergency personnel could arrive. It is pretty far from any hospital so it took them awhile to get there. So many people were trying to take good care of these injured sweet people. We did not know the language but the driver did teach us how to say a few words in Japanese.I was able to help two of the women, and older gentleman that could speak english and a 29 year old man that was traveling with his wife and could speak english and was worried about his wife. We found his wife and she was alive with I think only minor injuries. I am so sad for the families that had to get the call that their loved ones were injured or killed in this accident in a foreign country. I promise you they are in the best hospitals and are being well taken care of. The little girl is in Primary Childrens hospital and it is a fantastic hospital. If any of you know these families please let them know that we are praying for them and for the safe return home! Please have them contact me if there is anything I can do to assist them in any way. jgeorge@dsdmail.net
