Say an accident involving cars, you were a witness and could help if you decided to get involved. What would you do?
I just saw a guy in a truck run into and knock down a bicyclist in the street. This brought this to mind... I stopped until I saw that others were helping and then I went on. The guy on the bike seemed to be only minorly hurt but it could have been worse!

I would stop and give my name and phone number to the person that was the victim, many times we think something is clear as a bell but, it is not and many people will try anything these days to get out of trouble. Injuries that show up later are real and in some cases the person in the vehicle has actually turned around and sued the pedestrian for damaging their car.

You could go home and at least call the police and tell them you were a witness, if more witnesses are needed. If I saw others rushing out to help- I think I would just pray for that person and that situation and go on...but if only a couple people ran over, I think I would stop and go over too. Definately let someone know you saw what happened though.

i seen another man have a bad fall at 5 am .. i heard some commotion etc so i got out of bed and went down to help him .. blankets etc... and stayed till help came
it is a horrible horrible feeling to see someone hurt .. and i just cant settle till i know that all is well

I would help. I came upon a stalled car in the middle of the road a few months ago. It was an old man and his wife. I helped push his car to the side of the road. He wouldn't leave his car so I could take him home. He (reluctantly) let me take his wife home (their home) 20 mile out of my way so she could get his brother to help him.
I'm not a mechanic, neither had cell phones. I am disabled and that was the best I could do. I was on my way to church.

wow. thats crazy dude. i would probaby be like you. if a person gets hurt, i dont think he wants 40000 people around him helping him. a few will do. if no1 was around definately. i was driving down this hill the other day, going about 35-40 down it and this biker was going down infront ofme, faster then i was, and then his wheel wobbled and he crashed hardcore. just a kid too. i pulled over and went to help, found out that the car infront of me was his parents and they took care of it. but man it was crazy to see.

It's not only our civic responsibility to help, but our moral one as well...by all means, I would do whatever I could!
I'm glad you took the time to stop! ;-)

I would tell the police write away because that person can be injured very badly.
