Saw a cyclist hit a lorry today.

[sarahale]

He pulled out as the lorry was passing so smacked straight into the side and then went flying. 71 years old and by the looks of things was very lucky with just a knock to the head and hand injury, I just kept him talking whilst waiting for help and he seemed very with it so hopefully his head wasn't too bad.

I just keep replaying it in my head, I thought he was dead as I got to him, luckily just stunned. The noise was the worst bit, and the blood.

Well done for helping him
Hope you both recover well.

It's good that you felt able to assist, I hope the "replays" fade and allow you to sleep well tonight.

I'm sure it's a shocker when you see something like that, well done for reassuring him.

Just such a shock to see something like that, I was on my bike too, just behind the lorry.

Well done Sarah. Did the lorry stop?

Good job @sarahale. I came to the aftermath of a much lesser incident on the weekend, and did not tend the casualty, but still found myself crying about it on the way home.

Feel what you need to feel, and hopefully you'll feel happier soon.

 

[sarahale]

Well done Sarah. Did the lorry stop?

Yes, they didn't speak alot of English but were desperately worried.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Very well done @sarahale. I hope I can stay as level headed if I ever find myself in the same situation.

Nice to know that there's some who'll still stop and help. Well done you for being one of them.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Well done @sarahale for stopping and helping.
Not everyone would be up to it.
This episode will stay with you for a bit, you can be proud of yourself though.
Will you keep in contact with the injured man?

Good for you Sara.
