OP says friend decided to stop & help
The original poster (OP) said in the clip that he was on the way to the gym with his friend when they came across the accident and saw “a lot of blood”.
His friend, who used to be a firefighter and had experience with such incidents, decided to see how he could help.
Thus, they made a “U-turn” to assist the victim.
OP lauds frontliners & those who helped
Later, the OP said he was “still shivering” and his whole body was “shaking” after the incident.
He thus had the “deepest respect” for frontliners who could handle such incidents calmly under a lot of pressure, as he didn’t know what to do himself.
He also lauded the civilians who came forward to help, adding in his caption:
Just a reminder for all of us to appreciate our frontliners, those who stepped forward to help, and to stay safe on the road.
