City officials said there were four 911 calls about the incident within one minute.
Yep.

But yeah, people are dumb. I'd say I don't know how they could live with hitting someone like that without checking if they're okay, but... it's really not that surprising.

It's been researched several times; if 10 people are standing around somebody who needs help, more than likely everybody will think "somebody else will do something about it".

Then again, would you run out into traffic and potentially suffer the same fate?

I would definately go in and risk my life just to help fallen people, even into traffic.

And then, who would help... you?

Rushing out into traffic like that would have been dumb... especially with modern drivers, just call 911 and leave the rescue to them.
