I had an accident once. I was driving my Dad's car and hit a man. He was walking on the side of the road and talking on a mobile phone. I was coming from behind. I saw him walking and talking on the phone. Just to make him aware i pressed the horn. 2 seconds after hearing the horn he darted across the road without looking back. I pressed the brakes and he heard the screeching sound. He was startled but He still did not look back. However, he adjusted his motion while running and twisted his foot and fell down on the bonnet of my car which had come to a complete standstill. I came out of the car and saw that the man's leg is broken just above the ankle. He was a heavy man and it must have broken under his weight when he twisted his ankle and before he fell down on my car. Soon a crowd gathered and apparantly he was from the neighbourhood as many people knew him. They started to hurl abuses at me and some even tried to throw punches at me. Even neutral people were on his side as his leg was broken and I just had a minor dent on my bonnet. It did not appeal to their fair side. I told them that I would take him to the hospital and pay for the expenses. After making me hear some more abuses, some young guys and me put him in my car and 3 other men also sat inside. We were about to go to the hospital when the man realized that the fall had broken his mobile phone and he wanted somebody to rush to his home and bring his other phone. Finally, the phone came and we went to the hospital. At the hospital, the police came and he again started shouting at me and saying that it was all my fault. I requested him not to register a case with the police as it was an accident and I have already done whatever I could have. But he registered the case and it is still ongoing. So...my rules are if you hit a person and there are many people around then just go straight to the police station and tell them to send an ambulance there and if there are not many people around then get out of the car, put the person in the car and then leave the place for the hospital as soon as you can, before you are subjected to the crowd justice.
