Absolutely tragic!
Scene safety and common sense must always prevail. The second you fail to bring both to your decision making process is the moment you just made yourself a potential statistic.
This is unfortunate, but 100 percent preventable, let the professionals on duty do there job. I don't know if she had on any reflective material, which is the standard on all road incidents were I come from, but just a reflective vest could have helped, just my opinion.
Come on people, we all know BSI scene safe etc. Lets not criticize, make judgement or whatever...none of us were there, none of us knows what happened and the news report informs us of nothing but the death of a comrade. Lets just remember her and thank her for her service.
This.
I do hope those who choose to be particularly vocal regarding the ethical, moral, or (god forbid) 'legal obligation' to stop and render aid when off duty, can give pause for thought and see the senselessness of this and other tragedies like it.
I didn't know of anyone who is obligated to render care when off duty, in Cali your not obligated to do so.
If we never discuss these events we will never learn anything. It is too bad that someone has died, but we can not avoid ever discussing events like these out of some emotionally driven need to absolve the dead of any responsibility for their demise.
