The only reason I feel a lot more people don't help in situation described here, is that their efforts are assumed redundant. It stands to reason that if you live in the more rural areas you would get more people to stop and offer assistance than those of us that live in major metropolitan areas.

Anyone that offers to help qualifies as the good Samaritan. The only difference in your scenario is timing.
