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).
