Last year, I was the first witness on the scene of a woman pedestrian getting hit by a driver going through a spotlight. I was one of maybe 3/50 bystanders that ran over to help. What's amazing to me, is as Captain said, you really have to do so little.
We got the woman off the road, gave her a jacket to put her head down, made sure the driver stayed on the scene, phoned 9/11, and stayed around to file witness statements.
Most people just keep walking.
