I feel a bit like a rat now, but...
Well, like the subject line said..., Last night my daughter and I were finishing up some errands and we came across the remains of some kind of accident, pretty much blocked the road. As we passed we saw that a Ford pickup was on a curb and the left front fender looked damaged. Ok, we move on.
Two blocks down and about three over I turn a corner to see (so sad) a Mustang GT apparently stalled in the road, heavily nose down and flashers on. Some kid who even from a distance looked drunk was standing behind the 'stang, and anouther was behind the wheel. As I approched, the one outside flagged me down. Now I could see that the whole right side was crushed and both front tires were flat probally even with broken wheels.
I thought that I was starting to put the whole picture together now. When I rolled down my window, I could tell that this kid had been drinking. he incredibly asked if I had some jumper cables. I'm thinking that he needs more then jumper cables and I start to say no, when suddenly I decided that this is just too #$%^ed up for me, and I say "Yeah, but I will have to go back and get them" Oh he was all excited that I was going to help.
I returned to the accident and asked a cop if they were looking for a hit and run, they were. "Follow me" she did. Like I said I feel a bit like a rat for turning in a fellow 'stanger but I know that it was the right thing in this case.
