Josh Brent Initially Left Teammate Jerry Brown in a Burning Vehicle, According to Eyewitness

All, Death, NFL, Sad., Video Jason Lisk December 11th. 2012, 11:51am

The Dallas Morning News has an interview with an eyewitness to the aftermath of the drunk driving accident involving Josh Brent that killed Jerry Brown. Stacee McWilliams drove up on the accident scene after it occurred. She described seeing Josh Brent standing outside the vehicle, and asked him if he was fine.

Then, the flames from Brent’s vehicle starting getting bigger, and that is when she heard a voice from the car yelling “help me, help me, somebody help.” When Ms. McWilliams told him to get the passenger out of the car, Brent reportedly said “he won’t get out of the car.” Brent eventually pulled Brown out of the burning vehicle after being prompted repeatedly, according to the woman.

Assume the power windows won’t work, you have to wait for the water to fill (or nearly fill) the car. This equalizes the pressure and allows you to open the door.

I don’t know, man. I had a kayaking accident in the ocean when I was out in swells that were higher than what I should have been in and there was an outcropping of rocks that was covered by the water, hit it and flipped, being strapped into something and upside down underwater is really fucking ridiculous no matter how much you realize it’s going to suck. French fried when I should have pizzaed, didn’t have a good time.

No one knows what his state of mind is right after he’s flipped his car, not to mention the fact that he’s drunk. Guy was probably in shock and just froze in the moment. Have you been in a serious accident?

i remember one of the instructor’s stories (the nantahala in nc was where i went) that didn;t make anyone comfy was how an old engine belt off a farm equpment snagged a kayaker across his lap, so he couldn;t peel back the skirt to escape

Sorta. You just talk about being outdoors all the time. It does not surprise me in the least to learn that you do canoeing and kayaking. I bet you have a huge box of Clif bars in the back of your car.

I really haven’t been camping/backpacking/hiking or anything else since I’ve been married. The most ‘outside’ I get it splitting wood or otherwise working on the house sadly, or running. I did a lot more a few years ago, which is probably what you remember. Once the older dog is gone and younger dog is better behaved, we’ll start to go do those things again.

the thing I watched was a long time ago, but if I recall they said to just put the screwdriver right in the middle and pop the back of it with your open palm and it shattered. I just don’t see myself being able to wait until the entire vehicle is submerged.

It was a strange episode – keys didn’t break the window, but they didn’t use the point of the keys (if you “etch” a spot on the window with a key – deals with the tempering – and jam the tip of the key on that spot, the window will break). I’d assume the same is true for a screw driver. The Mythbusters episode used a window breaking tool and a springloaded centerpunch. Both broke the window.

Get out while the cars above water – as soon as it’s under, the pressure is too great to get out. If you can’t get out then, get you kids out of the back (if you have them), breathe easily and go to a happy place until the passenger cabin fills. Then open the door and get to the surface. If you panic, you die.
