‘Injured’ Crash Victim Starts Using his Phone

Do you use your mobile quite often? Are you obsessed with your mobile phone? So obsessed that you won’t even think to pull it out and start playing on it after you have met an accident. Well, that is what happened in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, China, last Tuesday. Reportedly, he was riding his motorbike when he met the accident. He had injuries, according to Chinese People’s Daily reports. The reason behind the accident and severity of the injuries, though he was conscious enough to operate his mobile phone while lying on the ground, is unclear at this moment.

Few photographs first published on Weibo show the man lying in the street, clutching his phone and seemingly playing a video game. The Daily Mail reports that the victim is subsequently been discharged from the hospital as reported by the police. The Mail also said that skeptics on social media suggested that the man stayed prostrate so that he could extract compensation from the driver. However, if that was the case, surely he might have acted a touch more, well, hurt, than the playing on his phone indicated.
