Car accident at Fuxing Lu

Really bad what I just experienced last night. While sitting on my balcony and thinking about something stupid, I then heard a big bang.

First, I thought it would have been a normal car accident with two vehicles involved in it. Seconds after I stood up from my chair to see what was happening down there, at Fuxing Lu. Well, it was dark and quite far away so I couldn't see anything precisely. However, what I say was just enough for me.

A taxi lighted by warning lights and next to the car, a motionless body lying on the ground. The best, at first no car who passed by didn't stop at all to see what really happened to the person.
Minutes later, a crowd of people from the other side of the street went to the middle lane and just watched the person doing NOTHING!
I felt kind of awkward. I thought that somebody has to call an ambulance immediately. After a while where nothing changed I picked up my phone, called the operator and kindly asked them to inform the ambulance and the police...well she didn't know the number of both institutions. Well, isn't that miserable? I gave up then and just felt bad at all as I wasn't able to communicate what just happened.

In the end, many more cars driving along the street did pass the body, while the police who in the meantime arrived at the scene didn't want to or was not able to stop the traffic in front of the body. An ambulance came and with a peace of mind they went to the person, did do something which I couldn't identify from the place I was standing and brought him/her to the ambulance car and drove away.

I assume the person lying on the ground was hit by the car in such a manner, that he or she didn't make it given he/she didn't move at all while I was observing the scene. This was really really bad, folks....

That's so typical for Chinese people... just gathering, looking what happened and doing nothing.
