side of the road
This is something that happened to me about a month ago. I just want to know if my reaction was normal, or if I'm a total weirdo.
It was a weekend and I was coming home from my boyfriend's house. He lives in a small, safe town in the middle of the woods. It was about 2 am when I left. I was used to the area and noticed a neighbors dog in the middle of the road, which was unusual. Then I saw a jeep ahead parked on the side of the road. I ignored it, feeling weird, but had to turn around when I saw that a huge electricity pole and tree had fallen and covered the road. When I turned around, I was startled by a man covered in blood. He stood near the jeep which was also bloody. I was really scared but stopped to see if the man needed me to call 911. He told me not to call the cops (was drunk) and that he wanted a ride to the farm he worked at, which was just down the road. I was going to call my bf but we were kinda far and his cell had no mins. So, I listened and didn't call 911! Instead, I told the guy to walk (due to blood) and I'd stay close to the side of him. I did that for about 10 mins when he reached the farm and at this point there was blood spewing everywhere. When he went inside, I left to go home and not even 30 secs later a cop pulled into the farmhouse. Do you think what I did was normal?? Keeep in mind the time and fact I was scared crap.
I would just put the pedal to the metal and drive to wherever i could
Your good intentions often lead to tragedy. Even if you are heavily armed and are not alone, it is best not to approach a stranger at night in a remote location. You should have just driven on and found the nearest pay phone or knocked on someones door and asked them to phone the police for you. Requesting someone call the police for you always gets cooperation.
You did way more than I would have. Sorry but that's the truth.
Do you know if the guy survived?
