Driver ignores mortally injured woman by roadside… and later discovers she’s his mother. (GMANEWS)
Vandaag op GMA; een chauffeur laat een oude vrouw aan haar lot over nadat hij haar heeft aangereden OP EEN ZEBRAPAD, honderden autos passeren en rijden om de doodbloedende vrouw heen, waaronder haar eigen zoon, die haar door al het bloed niet herkend en ook doorrijd, pas later komt hij erachter dat het zijn eigen moeder is, te laat!
Filipinos zijn alleen maar aardig tegen toeristen die geld komen brengen, kijk uit met verkeersongelukken ze laten je rustig op straat doodbloeden nadat ze je hebben aangereden, zelfs 711 (hun 112) bellen is al te veel, zo ‘friendly’ zijn ze hier dus niet!

**A driver who ignored an injured elderly woman by the roadside later found out that the victim was his own mother, the Anhui Business Daily reported.
The man from Nanling county in Wuhu city was on his way to visit his mother early one morning last week when he spotted the badly hurt old woman next to the road. “My car does not have a dashboard recorder, so I didn’t stop,” he was quoted as saying.
When he arrived at his mother’s house, neighbours told him she had left early to visit him. An ominous feeling came over him, and he immediately drove back to the place where the woman was lying.
To his horror he discovered the woman covered in blood was his mother. He called police and an ambulance but she died on the way to hospital.
Police later found a driver who confessed to hitting the woman and fleeing the scene.
Many drivers and passers-by on the mainland are cautious about assisting injured people, especially the elderly who fall over or involved in traffic accidents.
There have been numerous incidents of Good Samaritans themselves being sued for damages by the same people they tired to help.
But the fear of helping others has created what appears to be a callous attitude to accident victims.
In an incident that sparked outrage across the country in 2011, a two-year-old girl was run over by two delivery vans at a market in Foshan, where her parents worked. Surveillance footage showed that neither driver nor 18 passers-by rendered assistance until a rubbish collector raised the alarm seven minutes later.**
