Man Ejected from Van to edge of road - Drivers don't stop to help him.
[Calgary]
As reported by the Calgary Sun today, in what could only be described as an incredible callous act, a 21-year old man was thrown from his Minivan on Friday during rush hour traffic, ending up on the side of the road. Captured on CCTV, video shows drivers slowly driving around the mans body, nobody stopping to help him or even calling 911.

According to the Calgary Sun:
Instead, video shows several driving past the body, motoring on their merry way.What the fuck has society become if we cannot even stop and help our fellow citizens? Are we mindless sheep?
“It was amazing to watch — not just the collision but the number of cars that just drove by,” says McIlwraith.
“We have a body on the road and the number of cars that just drive by … it’s incredible … no one stops.
“We do not have an endless list of calls to 911. Cars just brake, move out of the way and keep driving — people just slow down, drive around and keep going.”
For the traffic cop, the pain of knowing so many did nothing was likely exacerbated given he was tasked in telling the man’s parents and siblings left behind he was dead.
