About 100% of these commenters are completely insane thinking it's okay to just run out in front of fast moving traffic. They think the driver is 100% responsible. I have deep concerns for where this world is going if that's what people think. Everybody knows you don't run out in front of traffic at night especially. They took their lives in their own hands and someone else got blamed because they were scared and left the scene. Fear is a natural human reaction. Running out in front of fast moving traffic is not.

I guess that is there way of coping with the situation learned from previous experiences so I cannot blame them but that is some cold callous shit, and this is why you end up with situations like 22:00; unable to defuse the situation because you lack the empathy to understand the other person perspective as you are blocking everything out to prevent yourself from being traumatized and having empathy would form a connection to the current reality. . Good job on that officer on being proactive and parking behind that semi instead of trying to argue with someone who just received some of the most terrible news they will hear in life because at that point he is not going to be rational, so you have to make with what you have instead of making the situation worse.

Even when I went to the hospital for my father, the nurse made sure that I brought someone with me which was my husband instead of telling me over the phone and having me crash my car trying to get to the hospital. You literally go blind, you can’t see straight, can’t think straight, you’re not yourself and that person getting that news needs someone.

She pulled over to help him across and they were both hit by a 20 year old who failed to stop. Both of her girls witnessed the accident and ran out in the street. Thankfully a passersby stopped and got the girls out of the street. The driver returned to the scene more than 30 mins later, after both victims had died. She was charged with a hit and run but was found not guilty because she eventually returned to the scene even though she drove off and left both victims to die in the street. Unbelievable!

I think the public is for the most part aware that hit and runs are part of reality. Hit and runs are illegal in all states, but the parameters can be slightly different depending on your state laws. As far as I understand it does not matter if you return to the scene after 1 minute or after 24 hours or after a year, if you flee the scene you are guilty of the crime of hit and run. It is very strange the perpetrator was charged, but then found not guilty due to returning to the scene. It sounds like the person did in fact meet the criteria for hit and run, but perhaps the jury went against their oath and nullified? Typically the jury is given instructions and takes an oath to remain impartial, but that's the problem with jury of peers is this does not always happen as it should. It is quite rare though especially with random hit and run killers. That is really weird.

I’m not a 1st responder, but my partner went into cardiac arrest 1 night and I performed CPR for over 15 minutes until 1st responders arrived. He went in the ambulance, and someone drove me to the hospital because I was in shock and they didn’t want me driving. They then wouldn’t let me see him, and stuck me in a room with a grief counsellor. I truly thought he was gone. I will never forget the hysterical phone call I made to his mother, in the middle of the night, from that room. I was apologising and telling her I did all I could, and all I could think was ‘what if it was 1 of MY sons?’ In the end, according to the Dr thanks to my competent CPR (I had coincidentally taken a 1st aid course less than a week earlier), he made a full recovery. But I’ll never forget that awful night

This is another reason why I am an advocate for having a dash cam in your car while driving, not only can it save you in cases of insurance but it's a much better eye witness than people. 1 forward, 1 back, 1 showing the inside. They should all record video and audio. It costs a few hundred bucks and can save you thousands, it can also protect you in cases of police over-reach (but just cause you have them doesn't mean you get to be a dip shit, still follow orders but now you have proof if they did overstep), and it can help if you're ever a witness to something.

In high school, a girl walking home was struck and killed just a block or so down from the loading. All of us waiting heard the tires and horn. The corner got blocked off, so the school buses had to go around to get to us. We could all hear her mom screaming while we waited. I'd read in books lines about "wailing in despair," and I understood the concept. But I finally heard what it sounded like. It was a very quiet ride to our stops

I was teaching one day and the classroom I was in was right near the road, it was nearing home time and parents were coming to collect their kids. One of the kids' grandparents was crossing the road and I heard the impact when a car hit her. It's a sound that I will never forget. She did live, but was injured at the hip level pretty bad and died sooner than she should have after that. My witness was only a sound, but it was enough that 30 years later, I still remember it clearly.

Thank you for the dialogue at the end. As a retired nurse first responders deal with their professional feelings and our human feelings in every situation. This can take a toll on mental wellness. I appreciate seeking out counseling and good support system with family and friends. After 37 yrs of service there are still memories that never truly fade or forgotten but faith got me through it. My prayers go out to the family in this video as well as eye witness. May her soul be at peace. May viewers be more aware of their speed and safety especially in bus stop and crossing areas. Thank you again for PUBLIC awareness by posting these types of videos. Buckle up.
