[Lups]

Yesterday my dog and I was on a badly light path when a car came through a crossroad. The driver actually slowed down when he was nearing the x but a runner managed to go and run under him without a reflector and while wearing black clothes that can't be actually seen through a windshield in the rain.

My idiot dog and I ran to them, I checked up on the victim first, he had a sprained ankle and he kept on going about him being an idiot for assuming that when he sees someone, he also could be seen.

The driver was an other story. He was absolutely in pieces for hurting an other human. He kept on crying. He kept on shouting he was so, so sorry. He even told me he had a beer 4 hours prior with his lunch so as a witness I'd know alcohol was involved.

Again, the runner had a rolled ankle. The driver was in tears and in a state of shock. I actually called our emergency service and told them I witnessed an accident but right now, the person who was hit is okay, but the driver needs medical attention for shock.

When the cops and the ambulance showed up, he said to me "my life is over. I'll hang myself."

The cops took the runner to the er. The driver and the ambulance crew stayed there with me, until the medical professionals understood how shook up he was. Then I walked home.

The guy did nothing wrong, the cops, the paramedics, me and the runner he hit thought so. Hurting a person was still so horrible to him that hanging himself seemed like a sane option.

I told you all this just to make sure you all know that people who experience something traumatic doing a daily thing like driving, act and talk insane. Please don't let them be without help.

I have no idea how the guy feels about the accident today. I do know that the iced up ankle, the stupid runner is okay. Just remember that people who are panicking are idiots.
