Freshman Ryan Chang was hit by a car Friday morning. Many friends tell Chang to file a lawsuit, but he respects senior Matt Carpenter, the driver of the vehicle for helping. Chang would prefer not to get legal.
Chang’s friend, freshman Sara Lambert, was also hit. Both Chang – thirteen staples in his head – and Lambert – 4 staples – suffer from head trauma. Chang will get his staples taken out of his head Sunday and Norman Regional Hospital in Norman.
“I respect him for stopping, it shows his character. I’m sure he didn’t even mean to hit me,” Chang said. “People were telling me different ways to get money from him but we’re both Greek gentlemen and we’re better than that”. Chang says if the roles were reversed, he wouldn’t want someone to file a lawsuit against him.
Chang plans to be more careful when crossing the street. “What a way to start my freshman year on campus. I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life,” Chang said. “I could’ve died and now I will start appreciating life more”.
