Lessage says Eckerman, at first, had no pulse in his neck, and was unresponsive.
"He was bleeding from his head, and he was bleeding from his mouth, and his ears, as well. Yeah, it was terrible."
He says Eckerman's air bag had not deployed, and Eckerman was leaning forward against the steering wheel, which was bent out of shape from the impact.
Lessage says he could not open the driver-side door because of the damage, so he ran around and forced the front passenger door open, reached in and pushed the driver's seat back, helped Eckerman into a reclining position, and Eckerman started to breath.
Eckerman was still not responding or speaking, Lessage says, except after a few minutes Eckerman did move his right arm.
Lessage says the driver of the other car --who he now knows is Bobbi Kristina Brown -- immediately got out of her car and ran up to check on Eckerman.
"She was running and screaming, 'Oh my gosh.' She was in shock, 'Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, what just happened, oh my gosh.' And my brother-in-law was there (saying) 'calm down, calm down,'" trying to comfort her while waiting for the ambulance and police to arrive.
