It was almost comical. The couple had had a fight and he shoved her out of the cart, so there was one ambulance near Rio Grande/Navarro for her. She called him to let him know she was hurt, so he went to make a u-turn without looking and got hit by a van. He may have broken his leg. I have no idea what the injury was to her. The poor woman who hit him was almost hysterical and he was constantly saying he was sorry and it was all his fault. He claimed his wife/fiance/girl friend was the only one who was drunk.

No one was quite sure if the bottle of vodka was his but it was assumed so. They'd been drinking in the square -- the cups were still in the cart.

Only reason I know all of this was that I stopped to put a blanket on him while we all waited for the ambulance to show up.
