WARNING: EXTREMELY disturbing video re: drunk driving victims
Not for the faint of heart, but when I received a link to this, I had to share this with the people I care about on TA, to try and prevent you from drinking and driving or letting friends/family do the same.
This was extremely hard for me to watch; I've been through a personal incident re: a traffic fatality so this was even more painful; very shocking.

It's not that disturbing. It did get me interested though, in how one Civic mowed down 2 girls while receiving damage to its rear bumper.

What would you have done? Offered her a glass of water? See if she needed an aspirin? The best thing to do would be to leave her as she was till the paramedics arrived - by moving her you may be making her injuries worse.

1. Safety check for yourself, check the environment, protect yourself.
2. Call 911
3. ABC's (Airway, Breathing, Circulation)

I would have gone over checked her pulse and if she was still alive I would have comforted her until the paramedics arrived.
If she wasn't breathing I would have started CPR...
There are people that know first aid you know and you don't have to be a dick with your reply to me...

+1
There is always bound to be 1 person in a crowd that has some knowledge of first aid or CPR...

On the comforting thing, I am sure your comforting words would have prevented her from dying if she was going to anyway.
And there wasn't really a crowd around - from what I can see, about 5 people. Quite possible they all didn't know CPR well enough to attempt it.
And if you watch the vid, (which is only a 1.5 minutes long), people did come up to both girls and checked for vital signs - "THEY'RE BOTH ALIVE", so within a minute or so people tried to help both girls out. They established that they were both alive, and that's pretty much all they could do until paramedics arrived. I wouldn't call that standing around doing nothing.
Sorry for being a dick.
