But he did say "and there were plenty of other foklks
around" so unless he
had any special skills to offer what was the point of adding
to the crowd?

heh-heh...would've assumed that too if I'd have read it...I
don't think another one of gods little helpers would've made
much difference...and I'd have probably decked the cyclist.
Just like thepolice advert, do you think you could do the
job of keeping the paedophile safe from the baying
mob....don't think I could...

So long as you're sure that's the case (and why shouldn't
you be you were there).

The thing is that as I read it it looks like you witnessed
it first hand and were close to the scene, (I wasn't) but
didn't stop for whatever reason. Maybe because you could see
plenty of others in attendence. And quite rightly all that's
need at an accident scene is someone to assess the situation
and give comfort if required, a first aider ideally to stop
someone else doing something dangerous to the injured party
(if nothing else), someone to contact the emergency services
if required and someone (possibly more than one) to slow
down other traffic if need be. After that any extra people
are just in the way and may impede the emergency services.

But you can't assume someone else has got things in hand.

And your message reads a little callously without
qualifying things.

As long as you didn't trouble yourself. It takes a
spectacular kind of [censored] to pass someone in that situation
without checking if they're OK.

Suppose the other folks thought like you?

You were there, but your portrayal of the scene reads a tad
callous on your part.

Heheheh. I dunno.

I think I'd still have stopped, if only to let the other
cyclist know you saw everything, and to pass on to all
concerned a note of your name and address/phone number. You
did say you'd offer your services as a witness to police
later, but would they have been called ? And if they were
called would they do anything ? If the accident was _that_
bad maybe you should have called police. Better twelve calls
to one accident than twelve people thinking 'Oh there's
loads of people about, someone else will call ...' I also
think that as you believed that police were to be involved,
then you should have stayed, no matter what the "but you
know.." issue was.

Your call though, you saw the situation, your conscience.

I do hope she was allright in the end ... 😉

You were there, but your portrayal of the scene reads a
tad callous on your part.

A data point: the last time that I stopped at an accident (I
was second on the scene) to ask if I could help, the first
person screamed at me "Are you a doctor? No? Then push off!"

Actually, I am a doctor, but that's not what he meant. And I
do know basic first aid, but he wouldn't let me help.

If Dave had ever had this kind of experience he probably
wouldn't think first of stopping.

Good point, but that's not how it read, or how he said it.

Knew I should have held back a while before posting....yes
it did sound a little callous, rather more disturbed by the
scene than I thought...yes there were others attending to
the situation, don't think I could've helped anymore....gave
details and statement to police after posting thread last
night, no feedback yet and nothing in local press to
indicate it got anymore serious than that (yet). Dave.
