stopping when witnessing an accident

One of the worst memories I have too was riding home with my folks from the airport one night and seeing the cars all stop for no discernible reason. As we got closer, we saw something in the road. My mother shrieked in horror "that's a PERSON!"

We pulled over, to join the other car that had wisely pulled up behind the body and turned on his flashers to protect the body from being hit again. My dad ran to the others who were looking at his body to see if he was alive, I called 911 and was told it had just been reported.

We opted to leave because others were already with him and we were told emergency help was on the way.

He died the next day, as reported in the papers.

I'm always worried about what would happen if I witnessed some kind of bad accident while I'm driving my kids around. Like, cars are always getting hit when they're pulled over helping someone else on the side of the highway.
