From the way this leg looks after the accident, even if it gets healed, the man may never walk normal with that leg in his life again.
Wish him a quick recovery.
Its obvious that the said driver is not even remorseful for his action judging from the frown on his face. He thinks himself a hero right now but we shall see who laughs last.
THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER,
Still strolling…
