A friend of my dad got hit by a car after going a few feet out of the crosswalk. (I think the car was taking a right and the guy was walking diagonally.) The pedestrian ended up being held responsible. Hmm...

I witnessed a motorcycle accident (from a bit of a distance while stuck in a traffic jam). Several people immediately jumped out of their cars. The guy had two broken legs and they dragged him to the corner. Seconds after they had him on the grass, the fuel from his bike blew into a huge fireball. The guy would have been toasted alive if they hadn't moved him out of there. They must've seen the fuel. I was calling 911 as it exploded and the operator told me they'd gotten many calls and an ambulance was on the way. I told her it just exploded so they better send a firetruck too. I was proud that my community got involved that way. I don't think it would be that way in a busy area of one of the bigger cities around here though.

I saw a security camera picture of the man down in the street.
Pretty sad commentary.

I'll be honest. I would stop and call 911 - but wouldn't actually touch the person or administer CPR unless I had gloves and/or a bridge with me. There are just too many diseases one can catch when universal precautions aren't taken.

Unfortunately, that's true.

Have to wonder if it was road rage gone real bad or a road race that went real bad.
One sees both just about every day and the ones involved always seem to get away from what ever mess is left in their trail
