May she rest in peace, it's hard to stop thinking about this tragedy.
It's a shame the passerbys can't be prosecuted. Apparently that's only possible in some places. France, Germany and Serbia are part of the few countries that do have laws on providing assistance.

I never knew this but it's also possible to be held liable for further damage in the United States. Many states implement good samaritan law but it does not always protect non emergency personnel.

What has the world come to that you need laws to protect you for helping others.
First aid, cpr and how to handle victims should be taught in school from an early age imo. Germany is on the right track "In Germany, knowledge of basic emergency measures and First Aid and CPR Certification is a prerequisite for the granting of a driving license."
