I'm glad you were right in the action. I've been involved in a minor accident or two, and seen some big ones happen in front of me. There's always that sense of slow-motion, of seeing things from a slight distance, which I understand is the adrenaline working and speeing your reaction time, to fight or flight. Even when I was only a witness, I got the big adrenaline squeeze, with heart pounding and shaking hands. not fun, but it does help later on when trying to describe it.
