"I was maybe the second car to come across the crash," she said.

"We got some of the women out of their cars and I just tried to keep them calm and waited with them while emergency services came and obviously, they were injured.

"There were two cars in the crash, it was a head on collision at 100km an hour. I'm not going to explain what that looks like, but it was horrific."

Emergency services arrived soon after, while Cahill was sat with some of the survivors of the crash, a five-year-old boy named Henry and his mum.

"While the horror of what had happened was unfolding around us, Henry, he was just, he was being really amazing," she said, adding that she had spent the time trying to distract him from what was going on.

Cahill shared that when the police asked her to move her car, she "took off without saying goodbye" telling Henry's mum on air if she wants to reach out, "You know where to find me."

"If people could see what I had to see that day, I could understand them never getting in a car again," she said.

Curulli shared that from his perspective, what really scared him about the situation was that it could have happened to anyone.

"The fact that you came upon it just mere minutes or seconds after it had happened," he told Cahill. "It could have been you."
