Good Samaritan Left For Dead on Motorway

A van driver pulled over to see if he could help when he seen a lorry that was on its side on the M602 slip road.
However, the lorry driver jumped into the van and stole it because the good Samaritan left the keys in the ignition.
The poor van driver hung onto his van as it was being driven off.
He left go some way down the motorway and is now in a critical condition in hospital.
A police spokesman says "The VW Caddy was driven onto the M60 towards Stockport and remains outstanding, but a 43-year-old male is in custody on suspicion of attempted murder."
Police are looking for witnesses.

It happens.
Very bad though when it does.
I would lock the criminal up and throw away the key but then I am normal.
He will get a few months in all likelihood.

Some people will take advantage of any situation.
Luckily most people mean well and are not like this cretin.

There was no call for all this.
I tell you, some people are total cretins.

Unfortunately some people will take advantage of any situation where they feel they can benefit.
