A 78-year old man was helplessly left unaided by bystanders after being hit by a car that left the scene. It wasn’t until several minutes until a Police Cruiser patrolling the area found the victim in the street.

A dozen witnesses stood by as the hit-and-run victim in lay helplessly in the street. No one took the initiative to help the man or even call 911.

The shock and sadness of this event is that “we” don’t want to get involved, or we assume that it’s the responsibility of the Police, EMT or government.

There are Good Samaritan laws which protect the bystander if he chooses to get involved and aids the man hit by a car. But often all it takes is one Good Samaritan to save the life of a man dieing in the street
