Mix94.5 radio presenter Kimba Cahill broke down after helping victims of a tragic car crash in the Indian Ocean.

Kimba Cahill has spoken about her experience helping plane crash victims while driving home on Saturday along the infamous Indian Ocean Road.

“Of course, it was very unexpected. I was driving home to Perth from Lancelin on Saturday night and may have been the second car involved in the accident,” she said.

“Two cars were involved in the accident; it was a head-on collision at a speed of 100 km/h. I won’t explain what it looks like, but it was terrible.”

Kimba explained that you don’t know how you will react in these situations, but said her response was to immediately jump out and try to help.

“We got some of the women out of the cars and I was just trying to calm them down and waiting with them for the emergency services to come and obviously they were injured,” she said.

The radio host thanked the paramedics for their quick arrival, but said it still required a lot of help from everyone.

Kimba helped the occupants of the silver Jeep, including a five-year-old boy named Henry.

“As the horror of what happened unfolded around us, Henry was just, he was being really amazing,” she said.

“I obviously tried to distract him from what was happening because I didn’t want him to realize the trauma of what was happening. “I tried to get him to talk about his dog and his drawings and Nan and Dad and stuff like that because his mom was hurt and couldn’t see him either.”

Both Henry and his mother survived the incident, but unfortunately the two young women in the second car were not so lucky.

Indonesian citizens Rosanti and Fina died at the scene after receiving serious injuries.

Kimba said what she saw was so traumatizing that she plans to seek professional help to deal with it.

“The images I saw flashed through my head like a video or a movie,” she added.

The accident happened on Saturday, October 19, and Rosanti and Fina’s friend Rizki Tanan launched a GoFundMe to help with the “repatriation of the corpse to Indonesia.”
