the middle of an intersection is not where you should lie down.

Reminds me of another one I saw last month, but at little fault of humans. My friend was driving us home (carpooling) on a dark three lane road (west, east, and a center turn lane) which is in between a park and a nature preserve (which are in the center of a large developed university city). In the span of 20 seconds, we see a car stopped in the center lane, driving closer shows something in the road infront of it, something small and alive.

In the seconds as we pass it, we see a living and unhurt baby deer lying in the headlights of a large SUV which, very thankfully, patiently had its four-ways on. Surrounded by two lanes of 35 mph traffic, it's as if the deer was so frightened it simply laid down to "hide".

Were I driving, I would have not quickly realized and drove past, but would certainly turn back and try to help. Block a lane with my car, ask the SUV driver to block the other lane, then try to scare the deer into the natural area. But I didn't, and didn't tell my friend to turn around and help (which he may have), and was bothered by it all night. I'm 0 and 3 for helping animals recently.
