It is in there already.
But when you've been hit... checking that thread isn't something that crossed my mind.
My first reaction was... get back on the bike and ride home.
My second reaction was... why are these people running over and trying to calm me down and stopping me from trying to get on the bike?
That's when I looked at myself, saw all of the blood, the ever-swelling calf muscle that was huge and dark purple in moments.
An ambulance was the only thing on my mind. I made the call myself, but was feeling faint and sick by the end of the call.
My opinion: the 999 operator heard the circumstances, and should've called the police too because I was clearly in no fit state.
