“Damn, actually a phone zombie .. first thing she did after sitting up was to try and get her phone back. Wishing her a speedy recovery and that hopefully she changes her phone zombie ways,” commented a reddit user on the post.
Another user expressed apathy for the injured woman and wrote,“She was on her phone when she crossed the road, when it was a green light for traffic and a red light for pedestrians. I don't have any sympathy to be honest. I just feel bad for the driver. Lucky he had this on video.”
