Should I stop or not.....

Pootling along the A370 Long Ashton bypass last night in me Sprinter box van on the way to Taunton when I notice a car stopped in the layby by the dual carriageway section of the road with its hazards flashing. Behind the car, a man was lying spark out on his back with his head partly on the road not moving.

Couldn't believe my eyes so did a U-turn and headed back t'other way and did another U-turn. By this time, a man and a woman had stopped and had rung 999. His nearside tyre was shredded and according to the paramedic, looked like he'd got the jack out of the boot to change the tyre and suffered a heart / angina attack.

Good to see that three people were public-spirited enough to stop but bearing in mind it was 7.30pm, little street light and Barrow Gurney is within spitting distance, I must admit to having second thoughts in case it was a set-up.

Anyone else encountered similar??

It has closed down now, been so for a few years now. Was a spooky place when open though.

If you ever travel along that road and wonder where the asylum used to be, look for the bridge with a high wire fence on ( to prevent suicide jumps )...and its in the dark woods there...
