On my drive to Richmond today, I came across a pretty scary accident on the corner of 49th and Royal Oak. At first, I thought it was just an old Asian lady who fell in the middle of the road, but as my son and I raced out of the car to help her, it was much worse. She had been run over by a Smithrite truck. The driver was at the scene calling the ambulance. I checked her quickly and with the help of the driver and another person, we lifted her to the safety of the curb. I left the car in the middle of the road because she was pretty tiny and she may have been hit again. Anyway, after we got her to the curb I noticed her blood soaked socks and something white sticking out of her sneakers. Broken bone that ripped through the sneakers, damn. I wasn't 100 % sure, but I was too freaked out to check it further. She kept wanting to touch it and I kept her from doing so.
The ambulance arrived pretty quickly - within five minutes. People didn't honk or drive off in a hurry, but I was so happy to see so many concerned citizens willing to help translate and whatnot.
I was just wAndering how things might have gone down if this was Gululu territory.......... my guess is she'd be run over a few more times and left for dead. It's much better for her "to died" than burden the family with hospital costs......... I've been brainwashed by western media............ Gululu, enlighten us.
BTW, it looked like the old lady was not at the crosswalk. Unless the truck dragged her a few yards.
