You did the right thing!! By driving you were able to get cell service and get help quicker

You did the right thing.

Everyone is different and every situation requires different reactions. I was a volunteer FF so I would have stopped to assess the situation as best I could and gone on from there.
You did what was right for YOU and you should not feel guilty about that. Hugs April |
Thank you for answering! When I went back and waited, a state trooper stopped and he told the woman was safe and she was picked up by a passerby to take her to call for a tow truck.

You did the right thing.
I had a similar situation. I didn't stop because I saw a man in that situation (car crashed into bushes/side of road). He didn't look too injured so I went on into town & notified the local sheriff. They went to check on the situation. **I didn't stop because it was dark & I was traveling alone. |
You absolutely did the right thing. The best you could do was call for assistance. You needed to drive to do that. Just think, if it were your daughter in that situation, what would you have told her to do?? Stop or Drive to get help?

You have no reason to feel guilty! If you had stopped and couldn't do anything then help would have been delayed. I think that what you did was reasonable. You didn't abandon the person, you were going for help!
|
Aw, dont feel guilty. You DID call for help, so it wasnt like you didnt help out.
|
Calling for help was the safest thing you could have done. If you had stopped, what could you have done to help. If the person was seriously injured they needed an ambulance. There are too many bad people in the world to put yourself in danger after dark.
