VIETNAM Man was walking in the middle of the road at night without any lighting or reflective gear. This caused him to be unnoticed by the car driver and hit at full speed – the driver only saw him in the last few feet and had no chance to react.
After the accident, the driver stopped and rushed to provide first aid. The victim still showed some signs of life, so he at least covered him with a jacket to prevent hypothermia until the ambulance arrived. But he died before help could reach him.
The incident is a warning for all pedestrians, especially those who do not have a driver’s license and cannot imagine what it looks like from a driver’s perspective when people walk unlit on the road in the middle of the night. It is a gamble with life.
