Coming home from work today was another experience.  C/p'ed (edited) from my aim with Nikki just now, because there's no way i can write this up again. 

Joey: *needs comfort hugs*
Nikki: *hugs tight*
Nikki: What is wrong?
Joey: I just saw a guy fly after being hit by a car
Nikki: O___O
Nikki: What the!?
Nikki: Oh dear god *hugs* ;_;
Joey: i'm home now, i'm ok
Nikki: But still... Man
Nikki: That is traumatizing..
Joey: i'm coming from work, and i see the car to my right stop, so i stop, not 3 feet from a guy crossing the street (4 lanes each way) illegally
Joey: he saw me stop and kept going only to be hit by the car coming on my left
Nikki: ...ouch
Joey: the guy flew and fell back to my lane, also a few feet away
Joey: it took about 5-10 seconds for my body to catch up with my brain to call 911
Joey: i'm just, glad, so very glad that God kept me from being the one to hit the guy.

Oh my god, that IS traumatizing. You're pretty badass to have the presence of mind to call 911 so quick though.

After the "Oh no oh no oh no" my brain kept telling me "call 911, call 911, call 911". It took my body a few seconds to respond and find my blackberry.

I'm glad I took 1st aid training, which kicked in (in as much as I could do): stay calm, make the call.

Thanks.

Oh my God, that's horrible. *hugs* I had a similar experience Christmas Eve when a car bounced off one side of the highway into the guardrail in front of the car I was in, but I don't think there were any bad injuries. (It was one of those "I don't usually do this, but we are going to pray out loud RIGHT NOW in thanksgiving for not being hurt because that was SERIOUSLY CLOSE" things.)

Oh gosh. :(

I'm still wondering if the guy made it or not... it's probable he died, though, he was hit so hard...

*hugs* did you have to stick around to make a statement? Did the driver who hit him stick around? *hugs again* I'm sorry you had to see this, but am glad you're safe.

Good on you for making the call. You're an amazing Samaritan. *hart*
