There's always one of these comments under every post. It is sad, hopefully she's doing better now.

He's probably just thinking of trying to make sure the police get there before she get away so he's not stuck paying for all the damages himself.

Be empathetic to her that's fine but don't act like the dude did anything wrong because he didn't
