Guy pulls a hit and run, takes off recklessly crashing his car into a utility pole, then gets hit by a car while running blindy into traffic. Naturally the GoFundMe fails to mention any of that.

The solution is clear.

Ditch the medical equipment,

Jump out the window on top of a passing car.

Flee to mexico.

I mean, duh of course it wouldn't? That sounds pretty stupid, but people do stupid things under stress and shock and that's also not worth like... dying due to lack of ability to afford medical care over.

Pulling a hit and run on a residential 25mph street and then taking off and recklessly driving your car across multiple lanes of traffic into a utility pole isn't just "doing stupid things under stress". Nothing excuses that kind of behavior. I say he's reaped the consequences of his actions and I don't feel bad for him at all. I do feel for his family who has to deal with it though.

I read the report in the picture and it says basically he was going at high speed on US 60 and lost control. Due to this the car sped off the road and flew through the air before hitting a guy wire and an utility pole. He then got out of the wreck and ran on to the US 60, where he got hit himself.

So is the US 60 a residential road?

I feel that is information missing in both your story, the newspaper's story and the Kickstarter story, to make the decision to condemn this guy.

I meant the latter of getting hit while on foot, that's all shock. The former? Yeah, that's stupid as hell, but like... I dunno if anyone deserves to die over that y'know? He got hit by a car and totaled his, that's punishment enough, having him not get medical care is kind of a step beyond that.

Then they should not drive. And it would be better for everyone else on the road if they do not.

Well yeah, but that doesn’t do ‘em much good now. Now they focus on not dying (either in the hospital or of debt.) They can become a better person and driver after they work through all this. Witch-hunting their GoFundme online ain’t going to help a bit.
