I haven't ruled out the possibility that the reason this car-pedestrian accident seemed strange was simply cultural difference. I do come from the land of direct, easily-engaged do-it-yourself-ers, where personal freedoms and rights are king, and the threat of litigation looms around every corner. (Though I point out from personal experience that my compatriots didn't exactly engage to help while Frau B. and I were crunched upside down in a highway ditch a few years back. You let us down, central Michigan.) I can think of many reasons I seemed to experience this recent incident so differently than the other participants and passers-by.
More time and input is required to figure this out, if indeed there is something to figure out. If secret trysts, parish coverups, or small town nepotism are involved, I doubt I shall uncover anything of substance. But if there's a simple explanation, it should eventually come out in the wash. I think.
