I helped her into a nearby store and the store manager called an ambulance.
The store manager also asked for my name and phone #, just in case.
I did later get a phone call from ICBC our province motor vehicle insurance company. I guess there may have been a claim or charges against the truck owner.
That's a sad commentary on the lack of morals of our society that someone would sue another person because of their inability to watch their surroundings. But it isn't surprising.
