I was driving home yesterday afternoon when my route was obstructed by an accident. A motorcyclist was been administered medical aid as he lay on the road. I had to make the decision as to take an alternative route or drive around him. Two other cars had driven around so I did too. As I carefully negotiated my way, I thought to myself I could have taken the long way and afforded the man a bit of peace. I didn’t think much more about it until I read today that the man was killed by the ambulance as it was responding to a 999 call. So I have felt bad for forcing my way past, so near to him as he lay dying or in fact he may have died instantly.
I was moved enough to telephone our local Police station to ask them to pass on my sympathy to his family and ask if I could also leave my telephone number as a local clergy man. They said I couldn’t do that as they would be seen as endorsing me. So my mood was made the more gloomy.
