Looks like the guy ran over a baby stroller. If I were him, I’d probably stop right away too.
Also note that the car is NOT jacked up.
Folded up stroller that was in the trunk and had to be removed to get at the spare.
Obviously.
Also, he may be in the process of positioning the jack or loosing the lugs while the wheel rests on the ground so it does not spin.
Have you ever changed a flat?
The middle of the road part is definitely idiotic, though.
