Last Monday (the 27th), I was walking in DC and waiting for the pedestrian light to turn "green". Something to the side caught my eye and at the same time, I saw two cars side by side driving by. When I looked over, I noticed that the pedestrian light had been green for two seconds, and those two cars ran a red light. I was like, "Wait a minute - if I had gone when my light turned green, I might have been hit!" Even today, four days later, I can't help but think what would have happened if I had been hit. Would I have had only minor injuries? Or would I be in the hospital? In a coma? Possiby dead? I tried convincing myself that every year, hundreds (if not thousands) of people get hit by cars, and only a number of those instances are fatal, and many victims gain full (or almost full) recovery. But I need further "consolation". If you or somebody you know got hit by a car, what happened? Any advice would be great - it's keeping me up at night! Thanks.
