Retired EMT here. This reaction (more concern for the cars than the humans involved in an accident) is sadly not uncommon among younger drivers who haven't yet reached the realization they are mortal. Once I responded to a solo vehicle accident on a very rainy night. The female driver came to consciousness as we were loading her into the back of the boo-boo bus, and starting screaming hysterically, "My baby! My baby!" Firefighters, cops, and EMS personnel were on our hands and knees, searching through the thick vegetation and mud next to the freeway, looking desperately for a missing baby. The woman eventually calmed down enough during transport to the medical center to tell the medic treating her that her car was the "baby" she was referring to. Needless to say, she was NOT the most popular patient we treated during that shift!
