I've got a good one thats kind of tragic, kind of aggravating, maybe just a little funny. This just happened.
A man ran out of gas along a pretty busy road with businesses. He tried waving down passersby for help but nobody stopped. So he began to push the SUV up a slight hill with the drovers car door open and holding onto the wheel, steering it while walking along side. He lost control of the car as it rolled backwards clipping some poles and finally hitting a store sign while he was dragged underneath. He suffered injuries to his legs.
Tragic, up till this part of the story. I felt bad because I've run out of gas and had a person come out of their house and give me lawnmower gas to get me to a nearby gas station. I never forgot that act of kindness. So I probably would have stopped and at least given the guy a lift to a gas station which was only about a half mile away. No way would I have helped him push his car which is what his girlfriend implied people should have done. Then again, in this day and age, somebody trying to flag down drivers can be risky, so maybe I can understand why nobody stopped. And iI doubt I would have tried to flag down passersby. As a local guy he knew that gas stations were fairly close by.
Back to the girlfriend. She was very irate that nobody sopped to help her boyfriend until after the crash and he was injured. Then she said everybody came to help scurrying like " cockroaches."
Needless to say she was not a very popular person in the local news forums. Thats the funny part, her reaction.

What? So why was the guy pushing the car? Was it blocking the road? If not, sounds like he needs a Darwin award. I've ran out of gas before (dumb) but never tried to push my car myself, always managed to pull off onto the shoulder, then I just locked it up and walked to a gas station. Once, that meant a 2 mile walk, in 20 degree rain, in high heels, after a job interview.
This is a scary story, but an awesome one too , in that the driver survived! This is awesome he did not die when his car went over the cliff. Awesome, after he was courageous to fight to stay alive.
The worst accident I ever saw was (I did not witness it) the photos of a DUI resulting in death, where the driver and passengers were decapitated. They were not wearing their seat belts and the tearing metal decapitated them. It was a horrid scene.
