Post from my brother - Warning - graphic language

I just saw a mangled body stretched across 3 lanes of highway. Cars just continued to run over it as 1st responders hadn't arrived. I'm quite shaken up. Feel like throwing up.

Somewhere in Texas.

I want to think that most of them either didn't see body parts in time to avoid them safely and, really, the safest thing to do is to continue on if there's no hope of helping.

It sounds callous, but "pulling over to help" causes a lot of accidents and clearly there wasn't much to be done.

Poor victim. Damn.
