I share a similar experience as well except mine has a happier ending. When my kids were little we took them up to Mount Rushmore the week before Sturgis. So on the way home all the bikers were headed up. It was just at dusk when a lady on a motorcycle lost control and dumped it in the median. Needless to say she wasnt wearing a helmet. I quickly pulled over told wife to call 911 and went to see what I could do to help the lady. She was laying on her back face smashed and chocking on her own blood. I rolled her over on to her side so she could breath and waited for EMS. Gave all my contact info to the police when they showed up and we got back on our way home. 2 years later I get a phone call from a mother thanking me for saving her daughters life. Year after that I get another phone call for her grandmother saying the same thanks. Now she did survive but she had severe brain damage. She could no longer talk and has other physical problems but she is alive and has a family that loves and cares for her. I do believe in fate also and I believe we were put there at that time to save her life.
Thanks Sirscrapalot for doing the right thing. Sometimes doing the right thing is the hardest thing to do. You used my favorite line and I use it all the time.
Didn't do it for thanks, or praise, did it cause it was the right thing to do. If it was my wife or kid in a wreck like that, I would want/hope someone would stop to help.
For this line right here is the reason if I see a woman or a kid or older person with a flat tire on the side of the road I will pull over and help. Middle aged men are on their own.
