Would you stop and help an accident victim?

[amboran]

Wife and I had a test on the way home from Pigeon Forge friday afternoon. Just north of Berea,KY (in pouring rain and and tornado warning-no less) we encountered a motorcycle accident victim lying along the right hand white line-just barely off the highway on I-75(motionless). two semi drivers immediately pulled over to help and at first I was tempted to go on ,since someone had stopped to help,but my wife-knowing CPR (since she runs a daycare) convinced me to stop also-she felt she might be able to save his life. Long story short-he seemed OK after being unconscious for a few minutes-first responders from fire dept. were there almost immediately after 911 call. Ambulance and police -not so quickly-but time goes slow in the pouring rain while holding my umbrella over the victim..............Nice BMW motorcycle pretty much ruined-good news was he was wearing a helmet and heavy jeans-so his busted lip and bruises(I hope) seemed to be the only damage to him.Even though we had to finish the last 3 hours of our drive home with water soaked clothes-I'd do it again. He turned out to be a fellow Hoosier from Greenwood-still praying he's OK after hospital check.

wow, that's great that you two stopped. praise the Lord for your servant's heart!

i would hope that i would stop when i witness something like that.

Without question.

BTW, good on you for stopping.

I would, and I have.

The one exception is if I have my kids and no other adult to take guardianship of them when I step away. If I have kids and am the only adult, my ability to help is severely constrained as they are my first responsibility. Period.

Already done it, and would do it again without hesitation. Helping those in need is a blessing.

I have a few times , probably gonna do it again .

[csaws]

I have, I will again and not just because it is in my job description

FYI

My step dad stopped and helped a few yrs back. An overturned UPS truck vs small car. He got pretty cut up helping pull the guy out of the truck and the UPS driver was bleeding really bad (all over my SD wounds). My SD could donate blood for 2 yrs after that. Even with neg. blood tests. The juice is definitely worth the squeeze... just passing on info.

Yes, I have and will again.

I stop for most cars I see pulled off the road, to help change tires etc. I even pulled a burning mattress out from under a car once on 69 south!

I will stop and help and I have several times. However If I have my kids with me it is unlikely I will stop because I don't like parking along the interstate period, but I am not putting them at risk.
