Damn.
My FTO back in the stone age told me that if I ever rolled up on a wreck like that, I should bump one of the wrecked cars with my cruiser and then get on the radio and call for a supervisor to work the collision cause I was involved.

In the words of one of my academy Crash instructors " Call a F**king trooper" .
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

To think I thought a 9 car with 4 injuries was bad to work.
It only took about 12 hours total time. Can't imagine how long this one will take.

The best way is to split the collisions into smaller ones. wherever there is a space you stop then start a new collision for the next block.
You end up with lots of much smaller collision reports although they are all linked.
You asign an officer to each and just work it methodically.
You also get air support to take overhead photos as they are invaluable.the sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.
