An AF member does what no one else did

You know how many people don't get involved when others need help urgently. Our own Kitty Galore had quite an afternoon.

After picking up her son from school, she was waiting to get on the freeway when a bicyclist was hit by a car nearby. Despite not being closest to the scene, she was the first, and for awhile, was the only person who rushed to his aid.

She expected to find that there would be no serious injury but when she got to the scene she found the cyclist was unresponsive but breathing, bleeding profusely from two head wound. She does not know the full extent of his injuries. She made sure emergency services was called, staunched the bleeding, and spoke to the victim to see if he would respond - until the paramedics arrived and the accident investigators interviewed her.

The victim's condition is unknown.

Good job! And noone else rushed in to help?!

[Minimalist]

Certainly no theists.  Why, with an unresponsive victim he may have belonged to the wrong tribe.


Bravo, Kitty.

Fantastic Much respect to Kitty, how kind and brave!

Reminds me of the time I was putting gas in my truck when we heard a horrible crash. Looking in the direction of the noise I saw a bike flying like three stories above the ground. I saw two people instantly take out their phones. At the same time I couldn't see the biker because of all the people who got out of their cars and surrounded the scene of the crash. When I realized there was nothing more to do, I decided I didn't actually want to see how bad it was so long as it was under control. But my wife got curious and phoned around until she got the hospital he was taken to. 'Miraculously' just surface scuffing but nothing broken and no brain trauma.

Kitty is a good one to have around in an emergency.

Thank you, Kitty, for exercising compassion and decency amidst a sea of selfish dipshits. I know you probably don't think it's a big deal, but it is...especially to the cyclist's family.

[SteelCurtain]

Bully on you!

Well done, Kitty.

Good job Kitty. Last saturday I also helped an old man that got ran over by a car. I was on my bicicle behind the car that ran over him, there were poorly parked cars, so the old man tried to cross the road and the guy in the car didnt see him. I immediately positioned him on recovery position, he was awake. The driver stopped immediately and called for medics and the cops. Since he was stable, perhaps with broken legs and lots of people joined, I asked one friend of mine there to help directing traffic away, until the cops arrival, by standing is both ways and signaling cars. The victym is ok and recovering.

My best friend's father was recently killed by a hit and run while he was on his bicycle.

Kitty, I speak for a large group of friends when I say "thank you," and for myself, because I worry about them all constantly on the road. I only hope that someone like you will be there when and if any of them get in an accident.
