Firstly, everyone who is furious at the driver - no. You have no idea what circumstances caused someone to lose control of their care that badly, so don't make assumptions about it. As one of the people here who actually is old enough to drive, I know that there are many, many ways you could kill someone with a car that weren't your fault. On my very first driving lesson, I was told that "a car is just as deadly as a gun. You are in charge of a weapon now" and it's true. The driver might not have been drunk, and they might not have been speeding. They could have been blinded by the sun. They could have had a seizure. They could have sneezed at the wrong moment, or they could have just not seen Emmy in time and failed to react. Unless you know for sure that what they did was their fault, please don't blame them or be angry.

Secondly, I really really hope this poor girl recovers. The place worse than the ER is the ICU, and it sucks. I had to spend a night there and even that was far too long. With any luck, Emmy will pull through this and recover - slowly. I hope she's strong and resilient enough to make it through, and I can't pray for her because reasons, but I'll definitely send as many good wishes as I can. Through the air. Because I'm cool like that.
