Almost ran a man over in CP.....

This happened last weekend, but I never got around to making a post about it...

I was coming home on Rt 1 in College Park from the Beltway, and was cruising in the left lane, doing roughly the speed limit. I drove past the Honda dealership, crest a small hill, and what do I see in the road ahead of me? A body.

I swerve (with about one second to react) to avoid running over the body and pull over in a parking lot. By the time I get back to him 3 cops had showed up (within 1 minute), and within a few minutes the guy sat up (I thought he was freaking dead!). The guy who hit him drove a Explorer, and the truck had damage to the hood and windshield. Thankfully, he pulled over immediately. There was a pool of blood in the street where the guy was lying. I couldn't believe the guy was still alive. When I drove past him he was lying motionless and had his arms and legs in crazy positions.

The super crazy thing is this all happened within 1 minute of me driving by. If I had been 1 minute earlier, who knows....maybe I would have hit him. It was in a dark part of the road, and he was nowhere near a crosswalk. Thankfully ambulances and police were on the scene within 2 minutes, and the guy is still alive. You have no idea how crazy it is to be driving your car only to have to swerve to avoid running over a human body. I thought it was an animal at first, but quickly recognized it as a person. Oh yeah, thank god my car isn't stock and there wasn't a car next to mine or else I would have hit them.
