She sat down and cried for about 15 minutes before she went home, only 2 blocks way.

One important trait you need as an emergency service worker, is the ability to keep your composure and restraint, to keep from wanting to beat the crap out of someone who severely injured or killed someone because of their stupidity. Especially when it involves a child. Its tough to do. been there way too many times.
A few years back we had an MVA , woman in a minivan full of kids. Driving in a storm that nobody has any business being out in. Hit a pole, rolled the van about three times, into a another pole She was belted in, half the kids weren't restrained properly. Was about a 45 min extrication to get everyone out. she barely got a scratch. Had to put medevac on standby for two of the kids, but the couldn't fly because of the weather. Thought we were gonna lose them. the 3 other kids were banged up pretty bad. She was extremely shook up and distraught, but I ended up losing it and going off on her. Bad thing, especially from a command officer. I ended up apologizing to her a couple days later.
