You did the right thing, Udie. A lot of people wouldn't have had the guts or the inclination to go help like you did.
8 years ago, I lost control of my car(1985 Honda CRX) in a blizzard, and got broadsided by a semi on the driver's door. This was during rush hour in Minneapolis. After being catapulted and spinning, my crushed car came to rest on the left shoulder of I94. As I did an inventory on myself to see what injuried I had, I waited for someone to stop and help me out. Out of the thousands of gawkers that slowed down to look at me, nobody stopped to help, not even the truck driver who hit me. So, unbuckling my seatbelt with right arm(left arm was severely broken), I grabbed by left arm with my right, and crawled out the passenger side. As got out, I finally saw one guy who stopped. He came over and asked me how I was, and after exclaming "I just got hit by a semi and LIVED!" I asked him to find my dog, who had been sitting in the passenger seat with me, and who had jumped out the window after the accident. He took off and I didn't see him again for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, as I stood there in shock, nobody else stopped, but they did gawk. After 10 mins, I see the guy come walking back to me, with my dog in tow on her leash. She was uninjured, and had managed to cross 4 lanes of traffic unscathed.
Anyway, 8 years later, the dog and I are still alive and well, thanks to that one guy who stopped to help. To this day I wish I had written down his name, because he was there for me to talk to as I waited an hour for the ambulance to get to me(lots of snow and ice on the roads). Good samaritans are hard to come by these days, but they are unbelievably important to people who get into accidents.
Udie, you're going to heaven for that act.
