  • Walking guy including the drivers are totally dumb!

  • hes a fucking dumb mother fucker crossing the street like that. thats what u get for being a dumb fuck

  • Fucking ignorant people not helping him i wouldv'e been there helping him in a heartbeat

  • >:(

    

  • For every one saying it was the mans fault, R U SERIOUS!!!! Look at the video, it actually looks like the car did it on purpose! F*****G cars shouldn't be driving the wrong way!!!!

  • ahahahhahahha there are reasons for crosswalks :P

  • @jonnyman21 Are you sick???

    What is funny here!?!???

  • someone should have used the crosswalk!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow you guys are clearly all assholes not conserned whether or not he died or the fact that he was 78 and didn't use a cross walk.

  • fucking stubid people realy.

  • THOSE PEOPLE WHERE IN SHOCK WHAT THE FUCK U MEAN

  • wow i cant belive no one even helped him WTF

  • Dumb

  • this only happens in usa, why wouldn't anyone help him. those two cars drove into the wrong side and ran him over, you can see the cars parked facing the opposite way ahead.

  • @2Mcloven it doesnt only happen in the united states you fuck head

    theres worse shit happening as i write right now

    for example someone somewhere is probably laying somewhere

    dieing

    and nobody even knows

  • this only happens in usa, why wouldn't anyone help him.

  • the first car didn't hit him... he was hit once...

  • I'm sorry but WTF was he doing in the street in the first place...I do not see a cross walk anywhere. TWO: there are obviously lots of cars on the road.....this poor person did not take this in account or could not plainly see this and he should NOT have been out by himself and NOT near a street.

  • i would go stop traffic to get this hurt man out of the way an help him an call 911

  • just so people know, he died later.

  • Natural selection is a bitch eh?

  • lol funny and sad

  • dude WTF if i where there ill go help da dude without thinking about it

  • driver waz doing nothing wrong, you must be stupid 2 think that a car wil stop

  • @pahtooPW are you retarded? really are you? did you miss the part where the cars swerved to the other lane and hit the guy?

  • @chakin4141 yep i didnt c thatXD

  • @pahtooPW you're a retard. the cars switched lanes sharply and hit the guy and then sped off... dumbass

  • That is clearly a one way street divided by a double "no-passing " line. Both drivers clearly passed illegally. The law states that the drivers must stop--a second infraction.

  • Comment removed

  • Some of you are commenting on the man's stupidity without studying the video. First impression: he's walking across a busy one-way street.

    If you'll study the traffic and lines along the entire street, you'll see it's two-way with "no passing" double lines. The first car to graze him was passing illegally, and the 2nd car passing illegally, too close to the 1st, couldn't see the guy in time =reckless driving for both.

    The ped wasn't doing anything more dangerous than lots of us do.

  • the only thing I could think of is that he is elderly and perhaps disoriented? sad.

  • This is a tragedy, but one that could have been prevented. I do not want to judge this man, but he made the choice to walk out and cross when traffic was flowing. I often see this and I wonder what is wrong with people who do this. As for the drivers, it may not be entirely their fault, but this is, they chose to drive away, in full knowledge that they hit a human being. Had they chosen to stay, they would probably not face charges, but they chose to leave this poor man to die.

  • Dont jay walk 

  • If that was chuck norris the car would split in half

  • he obviously died. but for the people who didnt know that, he did die. on friday. when the criminal was caught. karmas a bitch.

  • they were filming meet joe black

  • i think reaper is a dumbass loll

  • What the fuck was he doing in the road in the first place???

  • @Michael425x That's exactly my question!!! the Man was walking towards traffic!, it wasn't just ONE car coming towards him the whole traffic WAS!!!... what the fuck? "they were driving recklessly"? HE WAS WALKING INTO THE TRAFFIC RECKLESSLY!

  • damn that sucks

  • For everyone on here who says the drivers crossed the double line, YOU ARE THE FUCKING PEICES OF SHIT WHO DIDNT DESERVE TO BE BORN, YOU AR ETHE FUCKING IDIOTS< DONT FUCKING CROSS A GOD DAMN STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD< ITS CALLED A CROSSWALK THE MAN IS THE FUCKING IDIOT HERE FOR NOT PRACTICING SOMETHING THEY TEACH YOU FROM THE AGE OF FUCKING 5 LOOK BOTH WAYS JACKASS SO STFU AND STOP CALLING PEOPLE IDIOTS JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE YOU AND THE Man/Drivers r dumb

  • @Reaper421 That was probably the most hypocritical thing I've ever read.. You're telling us not to call people idiots because they were driving on the wrong side of the street (which is illegal).. but you are calling this man, who was PARALYZED a "FUCKING IDIOT" for walking across a street?!.. There is something seriously, and I mean SERIOUSLY, wrong with you if you can feel no emotion towards an elderly man who got hit by a car in BROAD DAYLIGHT and was nearly killed.

  • Comment removed

  • @AndBobsYourUncle1 those particular drivers were in the wrong because they were driving recklessly on the wrong side of the road, and your right,the pedestrian does have the right of way....at crosswalks. jaywalking is illegal for a reason.you cant just decide to walk into traffic anywhere we want. what you have here is 2 recklss groups of people....the walker and the driver.

  • @known12

    I just looked up Connecticut law where this accident occurred and found that as of 1978 their state law says: "Pedestrians are to yield to the right of way to all vehicles when they are not in crosswalks." So, I removed my previous comment because I was wrong, and you are correct - pedestrians only have the right of way at designated CROSSWALKS. The unfortunate victim in this video was negligent, AND the drivers of both cars were in violation of the "no pass" double yellow lines.

  • I feel bad for the guy, and as for the drivers, for not stopping kharma is gonna bite them in the ass hard, but also!, cmon seriously why cross there? there are crosswalks for a reason, it's called patience and common sense people, stop acting like you don't have any, and don't try to come up with a justifiable excuse, u cross in the middle of the street, u gonna get beat

  • Why did it take so long for someone to help? The guy/girl who hit him should have stopped the car to see if he was alright. I think it would have been their fault since the guy was walking in the middle of the road anyways, but still.

  • bystander effect

  • that was some reckless driving

  • WTF??? damn i woulda killed a mothafucka if that was my relative!

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooow.....­.......... fucking people are hella stupid thses days guy...

  • Poor guy. Now he's a quadroplegic, that sucks. It always frightens me how unwilling people are to help each other. There was that show a while back that had two actors, one man and a woman, and the man pretended to drag the woman into an alley while she was screaming for help and no one stopped. They didn't even have to touch the guy. They could have just called the police on the cell.

  • wow and the idiots that hit him were drving on the wrong side of the road too

  • WTH ITS NOT A HIT IN RUN HE WAS J WALKING vote good on the comment IF YOU ARE EPIC

  • @omior112233 You're a fucking idiot. It doesn't matter if he was J walking or not, the drivers were on the wrong side of the road, hit the man and kept going. The man walking could've been killed if he didn't end up dying already. How stupid can you be?

    I wish people had to pass an IQ test before they breed.

  • @omior112233 Do you know what the double yellow lines are for in the road for?

  • @omior112233 BUT THE CARS WENT ON A DIFFERENT LANE, DID YOU NOT SEE THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE

  • he couldn't decide whether to cross or not

  • what a dumbass pedestrian 

  • Its not that guys fault. This could have happened on a cross walk or even in in your front yard.

  • Yeah, not smart to cross the street then and there. But the first driver had plenty of time to pay attention, and didn't have to hit this guy, not sure about the second hit, as that driver probably had the first car obstructing his view. What really gets me is the people walking on the sidewalk, not doing a damn thing. Those people must have some busy ass schedules, or just plain lazy.

  • did he die?

  • must watch

  • omg that's why you don't just jay-walk across a busy street!!! I mean, I feel bad and all, but seriously...it was partly his fault!

  • @mle011 are fucking kidding! Does it look like there's a fucking crosswalk near by? And a "busy" street, can you not tell that the speed limit is like 35 mph? All the other cars are going significantly slower than those two assholes. And maybe you also don't know which side of the road your supposed to drive on in the U.S. If that's the case than I guess you failed to notice that those two cars illegally passed the car in-front of them.

  • that guy was stupid, crossing the street and then OMFG a car appears and then omfg a car hits him

  • lmfao they just leave him there

  • dude the guy was fuckin jaywalking, what do you expect....

  • @rickeymcconnell hahahahahaha

  • HAHAHAHHAHA this made me laugh. i got tears in my eyes..

  • i love how the description says he got ran over twice.. /facepalm

  • thats hartford, CT for ya :)

  • Y and the hell did the people who hit him get out and help him? The people who didnt help him r stupid cause when u look 2 the left after the man gets hit by the car there's this women with a white shirt, and shorts on at 0:20 walk's over and dosent help him! That ladies fucking stupid! Help him shit 4 brains!

  • no sympathy at all.. its called a cross walk! use it!

  • @IMillertime1 its called euthanasia. do it!

  • @skatewad maybe we should start with heartless bastards like you.

  • @nab3042 read the comment i was responding to before acting like a shit

  • fucking americans

  • fuckin norwegians... Norway ain't got shit so shut up faggot

  • @we3575 lol wtf

  • thats what the old geezer gets for JAYWALKING!!! SRSLY PPL. USE YOUR EYES WHEN CROSSING A DAMN STREET!!!

  • um.......recklessly? i think not. he was walking recklessly, and now he won't be anymore.

  • Old people shouldnt walk out in the middle of the street

  • Comment removed

  • Hit only once not twice Mr. Reporter.

  • wtf he was hit once not twice

  • Only in America can something like this happen. The man is lying there dying and no one is coming to help him. I would have charged all those people that walked/drove by and no do anything to help him.

  • It's sickening, but lets be fair, this is something that could, has, and will happen again, everywhere in the world. It's not just an American thing to not help somebody in dire need. It's a problem inherent in humanity. Which is a much sadder statement than "only in america."

  • @switchbuckle

    Oh yeah defiantly happens every day all over the world, but it dose not happen as much as it dose in U.S.A. Sorry to say but Americans are primitive people compared to citizens in Europe and some parts of Asia. Now not all American's are that way I have met a lot of Intelligent American's from all over the U.S

  • I think the idea that somehow the people of the US are anymore primitive than those of Europe or Asia, etc., is really just an idea that springs from an inherent bias, and probably stems from the fact that A.) Most the world's nations, at least by the end of his term, despised George Bush, which of course reflected badly upon the peoples of the nation. And B.) Probably has roots in the fact that America is a very very young nation.

  • But I assure you, as a transplanted citizen of the U.S for over a decade now, and somebody who spent a majority of his life as a citizen of Europe, that the United States of America is really no different, on a person to person basis, from any other nation on this planet.

  • @BoSaNsKiBeAsT do you have any statistics to that statement?

    Only in Germany will there ever be mass genocide. Wait...

  • @hacker13sacker

    Lets not forget Vietnam,Korea,Iraq,Afghanistan and Gaza. That just a small number of places the U.S.A has killed or helped kill civilians.

  • Only in America are u free do what you please..... it happens everyday sherlock in every country. America is the best anway why argue with a non American? Ur probably a sandnigger..............

  • @we3575 well then thats new sandniggers rlly?

  • its because he wasnt wearing a helmet

  • He should have been jaywalking.

  • @zilvova i agree he "should" have LOL jk

  • wow all the people who are saying its his fault are complete retards. do you not see the double solid yellow lines???

  • he shouldent have been walking thru the street like that in the first place. Totally his fault

  • it actually looks luke GTA San Andreas..

    anyway even if it was his fault, people must help someone in that condition

  • Lol i guess he was black...

  • First of all the first car didn't hit him. Secondly it was completely his fault. What the fuck was he thinking?

  • @ntwiles Oh FUCK they're on the wrong side of the road. Sorry for that I take that back.

  • what's up with the ppl who r just walking bye like nothing happened!?!?! ppl these days.. GOD!

  • wow....morons just walking by like it didn't happen

  • TheYoureFunny you fucking stupid too so they can go on the other fucking line to by pass other cars stupid fucking american.

  • AW he dead

  • does he die

  • that is wrong

  • its his own fault he got hit... walking in the middle of the streat... he probably has mental problems

  • @TheYoureFunny wtf?? you're actually blaming the old man for being hit by TWO cars?... Cuz it's just so freaking normal to see an old man walk into the street and run over him because it's just too much trouble to wait for him to cross... -______-

    seriously?!? i think it's obvious who's the one with mental problems in here!!

  • @aliloops no thats not what i meant, i think the man is just a moron and its his fault that he was hit, he brought this on himself. But the cars could have just waited until he passes...

  • ignorant ass fuckin people!!!!!!!!!!! act like nobody saw!!!

  • @URISS21 It ain't just America, kid. People just don't care about other people anymore.

    It's not that they're stupid at all. They just don't give a shit.

  • how about keeping tabs on your grandpa with dementia

  • North American people are so fucking damn stupid...everytime i watch some video like this... noone go and help the injured guy.. stupid bastards

  • @Mefistoteles2007 At least we can make intellegent points on You Tube without using the words you just used, but what else is new coming from someone from your country. Btw, the next time people from North America are giving your people food and medicine, be sure to say thank you. Have a nice day Papi.

  • @FanOfPopCulture Lol USA aint giving me shit, so..you should shut up, and btw.. medicine aint nothing, we get medicine's from many countries like china, cuba (who have the greatest medics i can tell) and others... and btw.. where i live we got OIL.. that North American people need so badly.. so SHUT THE FUCK UP... and yes its already a fact that in USA most of the ppl are dumb.. Have a nice day daddy

  • @Mefistoteles2007 FUCK U

  • don't u just love the states? :)

  • What was this old geezer doing in the middle of the road by the way?!He should not have been there!There was no crossing.That car driver should have stopped anyway,only because it is obligatory I guess to stop if you run someone over and call the ambulance.

  • omg 1 minute if he was hit near me im at the sec over him and screaming for help jesus crist whats wrong with u ppl

  • Tell that hit and run person got caught!!! 

  • and that kids is why u dont j walk

  • @the2eyedcyclops I bet you were the driver. 

  • @djfsolo no i stop the car when i hit old men

  • This is very, very disturbing I want you to take a look.

    LOLWUT

  • not once..! but twice..!..lol....poor guy..

  • Anyone notice that the two cars crossed a double yellow line and were on the wrong side of the road?

  • Plus the dude was elderly, maybe he was delusional and didn't realize cars were coming.

    

  • What the HELL, who just stands there and looks!!?!?!?!

  • @lotusfae Americans apparently.

  • @Exile51 Maybe some Americans, but I'm from Minnesota and I would definitely be running into the street motioning for people to stop and calling 911. Because I have a frickin' heart.

  • @lotusfae That's good. Unfortunately, most people don't think that way.

  • @Exile51 I know, right?! When I worked in a retail store, I met a lady who had just moved from NYC who told me that she was shocked at the cultural differences. I don't like to generalize, but maybe it's an East coast city thing? Who knows.

  • @lotusfae I think it's more of Northern State thing because I used to live in Maryland and then I moved to VA and I noticed that people are a lot nicer and more concerned than the people in MD.

  • @Exile51 Yeah, but Minnesota is pretty damn Northern and we have that famous "Minnesota Nice" thing. I think some people are just into self-preservation and don't like to get involved in things.

  • @lotusfae Well this is a country run by fear, whether it's fear of cancer, accidents or terrorists.

  • @Exile51 So, so true.

  • @lotusfae Much more realistic.

  • @Exile51 That is a hilarious generalization. The people you interacted with are a sliver of maryland's population. Same goes for VA. I meet nice people, and mean people, everywhere I go, and I've been traveling quite a bit. Love that you think personality and overall kindness of a human being has anything to do with geographical location.

  • Hey IDIOTS who are saying it was the guy that got hit's fault. The drivers were driving on the wrong side of the rode!!!!!! They also passed a car in double yellow lines!!! You people are truly idiots

  • everybody jay walks in hawaii just saying. but cmon the guy was walking hecka slow u could at least yeild

  • Comment removed

  • Driving recklessly? WTF SERIOUSLY? Use a fucking crosswalk. The man that was hit should be cited. Sometimes are laws are just stupid.

  • Thats like punishing someone for breaking the law lol. Nothing illegal here.

  • americans...

  • he got hit only once and next time use a fucking crosswalk

  • thats why you get for jay walking!

  • this is why JAY!! WALKING IS ILLEGAL IN NY! i mean damn why was he jay walking? HE SHOULD HAVE USED THE CROSS WALK! I MEAN THEY ARE BOTH TO BLAME, the old man and the reckless driver.

  • thank you you social world!

  • that guys is stupid

  • Did he died?

  • @yougotshot2101 LMFAO

  • @yougotshot2101 LMFAO

  • I know 97% of people who are mad at the guy for not using the crosswalk has jaywalked before too. Don't be a hypocrite. There enough clogging up the Youtube comments.

  • ...What were all the bystanders doing?? Just looking at him? Someone was to come to his aid ASAP not stand around. I didn't even see anyone at LEAST get on their phone and call an ambulance. What the hell is wrong with these people?

  • @SW20FL Actually, interestingly enough, the bystanders not acting is indicative of what's called the "bystander effect", which is and has been a really crazy social psychological phenomenon. You should look it up; it's really kind of scary.

  • @firedagger yeah I've heard of that before. I've seen documentaries about that. I've witnessed a fatal motorcycle accident and I rushed over to help. I just can't see why people do what they do.

  • @SW20FL the woman on the sidewalk clearly was upset with the incident and immediately pulls out her cell phone to call in the emergency.

  • @volainge09 Well there you go lol

  • i feel bad for him just cuz it was a hit and "run" and no one helped him. but wtf was he doing in the road?

  • I Live In Connecticut ! :D

  • @ArmySoul3 i live in California :D

  • owned? thumbs up if you agree

  • The land of plenty! .-)

  • fuck that fool. what would it be like if everyone started crossing wherever they wanted to ?!

  • America IS NOT "Land of the free and Home of the brave" anymore...

    More like "Land of the fat, lazy, screw you, I'm not going to help you, and Home of the but I will post your tragedy on YouTube so I can get lots of hits on my page."

    -There is a reason why some societies collapse on themselves... I'm convinced America's will be STUPIDITY.

  • @Nauticalman Whats funny is that this crap happens all around the world... not just in america... Ignorance is everywhere in todays world.
