I'm prepared.

30 years ago I was driving on a country road and came across a nice sized cardboard box in the middle of my lane. Fortunately I saw it a long way off and got around it in the opposing lane. I glanced back in my mirror out of habit before merging back into the correct lane and saw a toddler IN THE BOX! Spun the car around, grabbed the kid, and delivered him to the first house I could find. They knew him. Neighbor's kid.

Had there been three or four cars ahead of me shielding my view I can think of one or two scenarios where i may have hit that box. Seems eerily similar situation. I doubt a jury ever sees this case.
