I witnessed a death today, and I’m shaken and horrified

I live in a Western country, and I was driving for a rideshare service. While waiting at a red light, I suddenly heard a massive crash. The person in my car screamed loudly, and when we both looked, we saw a man lying on the road. He’d been struck by a car that sped away right after. I have no idea how or why it happened - the driver swerved left at high speed, and the pedestrian was thrown into the air, then fell and didn’t move, with blood coming from the back of his head. Ya Allah, I felt like screaming inside, but the passenger had already done it for me. May Allah grant him mercy and ease.

This hit hard. I once saw a similar accident in Jakarta, and the image never leaves you. Recite Quran and make dua for your own peace too.

Brother, that trauma is real. Talk to someone you trust, don't hold it in. The ummah is with you.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. May Allah forgive his sins.

Driving for rideshare is risky enough without hit-and-run monsters. Hope the cops get that driver fast.

Ya Rabb, have mercy on him.
