One of my worst nights was years ago before seat-belt laws became universal in the US. My then-girlfriend and I witnessed an oncoming car suddenly lose control and roll. We stopped to find a very hysterical teen screaming about her boyfriend. We stumbled around in the dark searching for him for several minutes as a couple of other passing cars stopped and the occupants joined the search. I looked over to see my gf standing frozen, unable to speak, and staring at the crumpled bf at her feet.
It turned out the girl had just gotten the car (I think a Mustang convertible) a day or two earlier for her birthday and was letting her bf drive it.
