I to am hoping that the mother and child are doing fine.
I know that when I needed medical attention in Asuncion, I had to practically throw the money at the doctor and nurse, they would not take it. They
seemed very embarrased to take it.

I so hope the mother and child fully recover. It is so easy to misjudge the speed of oncoming traffic.
MikeLike Baja, sounds like you really did everything you could. It is just so awful to come across these accidents.
We never pass by one of the Cruz Roja Ambulance collection points without donating. We hope that we will never need their services, but it is good to
know they are there if needed.

I, too, have been helped by Cruz Roja - they're angels indeed.
For those who might be interested in donating money to them beyond the dinero dropped into their cups at Baja intersections...
http://www.loscabosguide.com/redcrosslapaz/
Says they will issue a donation receipt upon request.

Thank you so much for the info. The newspaper says 6 in the afternoon. But it was six in the morning. The ladies name was Maria. So its got to be the
same people. I will have my wife call the hospital Saturday. If anyone has info about their condition please post it. I am sure the mom is stable
unless she had internal injuries. I remember the off duty police officer used my phone to call the ladies family. I will have my wife call that number
Saturday and see if we can sensitively get info on their condition. Again thank you all for the help

I heard another lady was hit crossing the street today in Tijuana... and every other city in Mexico... and probably the US too.
Anybody know what hospital they are in and if the are okay?

No my point is that this probably occurs daily. If this is a true story it is tragic but hardly newsworthy. Is it?
And if it is then we should report and be concerned about all those other people to.
I heard Egogato got hit by a big Ford truck driving to fast. Anyone know what hospital he's in?

Fishbuck, IMO, your posts on this thread are inappropriate. Making jokes about 2
people seriously injured in a hit & run accident shows extreme insensitivity & immaturity...and you wonder why you didn't
get any takers to fly with you??

You don't even know if this is true do you? I didn't make a joke about 2 people seriuosly injured.
My joke is about how gulible you are to believe a story like this. It may be true. Or not.
And if people don't want to fly with me I really don't care that much. Sure it would be nice but eventually I'll afford it by myself. And then I won't
ask you. You can take a 10 hour drive if you want. I'll fly it in 3.
And if I try to brighten my day by making light of everyday occurances then what do you care.
This board can be a real drag sometimes especially with all the self-rightious a-holes telling other people how to think or talk.
Mind you own business.

Fishbuck,
Boring? Yes you are. And nasty to boot.
Shame on you for turning an earnest post into something nasty.
How about you throw off the bowlines and sail away..............

Sorry Fishman but you are a little out of control tonight.
This forum is not your personal entertainment venue.
It's not nice to ignore other folks' sensitivities.
Go to your room.

An earnest post? Really? How do you know it's earnest. The guy has never posted here before Wenedsday and has a total of 5 posts.
Why come on here and ask his questions. No one here knows. He was at the alleged accident site. He should have asked there.
But he did manage to get a whole bunch of sympathy for himself and the "victims" of this "accident".
Even if this did occur nothing that I say or do (and you also) can change anything about it.
But continue to scold me if it makes you feel better about yourself. It's all my fault.

I think we should all go to bed and sleep on this. It's just getting worse and going nowhere.

I think you have not read the original post, Mike seems geniunely (howerver it's spelled) concerned about these people because he personaly witnessed
the accident and got involved. He showed concerne for knowing were the people were taken and if they were properly cared for. I looked for something
in the news about it and there it was, the 6pm to 6am discrepancy is probably a misprint (they do it often) so I went ahead and called to find out
more. I got little information on it and Mike has not asked me to persue it further but what I did learn I posted here.
Yes, there were probably hundreds of people run over on the same day all over the planet and oh well, what can we do about it but when it hits
personaly that is when empathy kicks in.
So if a plane goes down in Baja in the next week or so we should all just think that it's just another plane going down as they do all over the world?
Or a drunk gringo gets hassled on Revolucion while looking for a future wife at 3am ?
Ok, now we can say good night.
