IF you ever witness a car accident, your immediate reaction may be to help the person who’s injured.
But one woman said she was put in a strange predicament after someone crashed in front of her home.
Meghan Sharkus, who goes by @meghansharkus on TikTok, received over 1.3 million views on her video in which she explained what happened.
“PSA of what not to do if someone crashes their car in front of your house and asks for help.”
Meghan said this experience occurred two years ago, but she is only now realizing the meaning behind it.
“I was minding my own business, working on my computer, when someone crashed into one of these light posts right outside my house. So I ran down the stairs to see what I could do.”
She said the victim was bleeding a lot from her head and had glass above her eye, so Meghan gave her tweezers and towels to clean up the wound.
“She said she was thirsty, so I gave her Propel, water, and almond milk for calories because she looked like she needed something.”
But this wasn’t enough for the woman.
“She then informed me that she needed wine. She said that everything was so painful and she just needed a glass of wine.”
Meghan felt uncomfortable so she told the woman no, but offered her numbing cream, antiseptics, Advil, and Tylenol instead.
“She’s like, ‘No, no, no. I need wine.’”
In a follow up video, Meghan said she finally learned why the woman wanted wine.
“She was just trying to cover up her drunk driving.
“If someone is in a car crash and they need your help and you call an ambulance on their behalf, do not give them alcohol even if they’re in pain.
“The nurses can figure that out when they get to the emergency room.”
Viewers in the comments applauded Meghan for not giving in:

“Don’t give a head wound/trauma victim ANYTHING to eat or drink. They may need emergency surgery,” one person wrote.
“Omg so she was going to blame you the good Samaritan,” added another.
