Confession of witness

Today was so weird. Earlier, my mom's van got bumped from behind, and I was complaining about my back hurting. Since I had just come from the doctor's office, I didn't want to go back. I mean, it hurt, but it wasn't that bad. Then, later on, we got lost in Clayton NJ. I was driving, and I saw a horrible accident as it happened. See, this car was driving opposite of me. It was speeding, and when he passed the car in front of him, he kinda lost control. He went over this ditch thing and the car started spinning. It went up in the air and everything. Then, he took out a pole, the pole just broke like a toothpick, it was eerie. The car rolled some more, then came to a rest on his side. I was SO scared, I wanted to drive away, but my mom made me stop. She told me to call 911, which I did, and she went over to see what was up. I was SO scared man, I was literally shaking. I mean, I am a new driver, and I saw something like THAT? my mom said he was young. Ya Allah, I was thinking, if I had been speeding, like I usually do, I could have been hit. Allah is so merciful. The driver was out according to my mom, I was afraid to go over there, what if he was bleeding or something? Well, I later found out, he is still at Cooper Trauma.
When we get home, there is a note on the ground. I pick it up, thinking, oooh, notes! Well, it was my mom's address and stuff, and the Clayton Police number. They knew we knew. I tried to leave when they came, but I was caught. I called them back and talked to the officer. I have to write up a statement and send it to them, my mom too. The problem is my mom didn't really see it all, and I did. I was shaking for awhile after it happened. I am really just calming down, but I had to relive it in a way by telling the cop. I hope the driver is ok, if it's a fatality, I might have to like, give a statement in person or something. InshaAllah, he will be fine.
