Saskatoon man hit by a car thankful for Good Samaritans
A couple of inches proved to be the difference between life and death for a Saskatoon man who was struck by a car on the side of Circle Drive.
“My leg was out of the car and she struck me, I don’t know exactly how she hit me, but by the looks of my leg … my leg hit the runner and that may have saved my life,” Cas Silva told CKOM.
At around 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 19, the same day Saskatoon police received 44 collisions due to slick and icy roads, Silva got a call from his coworker asking for help getting him out of the ditch on Circle Drive North near the 33rd Street exit.
“I was trying to get him out of the ditch but once I hooked up I realized I couldn’t see him and I couldn’t see around my side,” Silva said, adding that’s when he opened his door to get out.
