To answer your question, I've seen two small children die in separate accidents: One was run over by a large truck, and one was struck by a van, but I will only talk about the first one
The little girl who was run over by a large truck was seven years old and she was so tiny and fragile. I was standing close enough to her that I could see her little blue eyes, half open and she seemed to be looking at me. Most of her face was crushed, and there was so much blood and other stuff from her body on the street. The scene was so graphic, police officers were vomiting and many were crying.
I didn't actually witness her being hit, but I was there immediately after.
I was seven years old myself back then, and I was up the street with my friends. We saw the police all over the place down the street, but we thought someone got stuck in the drain, so we ran down. We figured it would be a good way to kill time on a boring Sunday afternoon, to watch them rescue someone from a drain. We had no idea that she had been run over until we were right there.
As soon as I saw her, it seemed like our eyes connected and I honestly thought she was trying desperately to communicate with me because her eyes appeared to be looking right at my eyes. I couldn't move and I couldn't break "eye contact" if you can call it that. When you are only seven years old, I guess you see things differently, not knowing what is possible or not possible.
It seemed like I was frozen in time and that she was “communicating” with me through our minds, as she was dying. There were a LOT of people that had gathered there, but while I was “frozen”, it was just me and her. I felt that she was “telling” me (through our minds) things like – she knew she was dying and she just wanted me to be there because she was a bit afraid. It’s hard to explain in writing because no words came through from her. Just this “feeling” of what SHE was feeling, if you know what I’m trying to say.
I’m 49 years old now, and I can still see her face as clear as I did that day – I don’t even have to close my eyes or concentrate to bring up her face. Over the years of course, I’ve seen her face less and less, but every time I see a kid run out in the street, her face pops up. The strange thing is that I’ve had memory problems that seem to be getting worse, yet I can still see her, and I think I always will.

Yes, plenty - worked in Emergency rooms and ICU as an R.N. What went through my head depended on the circumstances, so it varied from shock, defeat, despair to acceptance and relief. The worst experience was my father's death. That image will be forever imprinted in my mind - extreme sadness. What a curious question!

Yes many times. I used to drive a tow truck for the Detroit Police on midnights and saw many fatality accidents.
