Eventually, more and more people gathered around. Before the ambulance arrived, some people had called the police, but no one dared to approach the injured old man.
The air was abuzz. Everyone was gossiping and asking each other what had happened.
Caroline squatted beside the old man by herself and didn't dare move.
She didn't know how long it took, maybe only a few seconds had passed but eventually, she heard someone in the crowd shout her name. She looked up and saw Culver running up to her.
"Caroline, what's going on?" Culver asked frantically.
"I saw that a truck was about to hit this man and I wanted to pull him out of the way. But I was a little too late, and he got run over because of it. I think it was on purpose! The person who had been driving the truck seems to have taken something he dropped," Caroline explained.
Although it was her first time encountering something like this and she was feeling incredibly nervous, she forced herself to remain calm.
