today I saw a man die.

He was lying down on the side of the road, there were many people crowding round him, medics, on lookers, passers by like myself. Although I didn't stop the car altogether, i was going at a crawling pace to get the best look i possibly could. The feeling of seeing someone dying, lying there in the road. He was by the side of his motorbike, his stomach was ripped open and he appeared to have lost his legs. in front of the man lying in the road was a truck. I kept saying to myself; "stop stop the car, go and shoot some film, get some photos, a little bit of footage on your camera." I never stopped my car, I just kept driving.
Not until much later did i drive back. There were still people mulling around, The police had started to pull the crowds back and the reporters were already in there taking their bit. I managed to sidle up to a witness who was being filmed by the local TV station. I filmed him being filmed, got some funny looks off a few people and was even shouted at by a couple o guys that wanted to know what i was doing. I felt shaky, scared for pulling out my camera. I found the driver of the truck who was obviously shuck up. He was being interviewed, looking pretty bad, in a state of bewilderment. I spoke to his wife. She said the brakes had failed on the truck as he was coming down a hill. There was nothing he could do.
I asked her what religion she was, then I suggested the spiritual church. it was the least I could do..

I thought i would have some footage to put up here, at least a photo, but after having just gone through the material it is all pretty useless. Listen to your heart, i was going to stop the car and get out when i first drove by, but..
