what would you do?????

I would probably feel guilty too for not stopping, but in this day and age you did the best thing. You drove to a safe place and called for help. That's the best you could do under the circumstances.

What would you've done? No cell coverage, alone, dark, and in the middle of dense woods.
You did the right thing.
Did you ever find out the end result? I wonder if calling the local police department you might get some general information as to whether all turned out right...no personal information...just peace of mind since you reported it.
Realize privacy issues these days, but you would not be just a nosy busy body... just a thought.
(I know I would like to know.)

You did the right thing. It could have been a rouse to get you to stop. Remember Ted Bundy faked car trouble and a broken arm to get women to stop. As much as we want to help others (and I think we should) we must put our personal safety first. Driving to where you had cell phone coverage and them calling for help was very wise.

They even tell people to call 911 before administering cpr. I think you made the right choce. Even if they were hurt, how much could you have done? Getting to where you could call for help was the smartest thing.
And what if it was staged - you may not have been here to write this post.
