CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The victim in a hit-and-run that was caught on tape talked to Eyewitness News on Monday about the incident. “I know God had my back, that's all I know,” Shaun Lewis said. “God was looking out for me." Lewis said he feels blessed to be alive after he was hit by a car on his way to work. Surveillance video captured the incident. In the video, you see Lewis running across Tuckaseegee Road. Then the video shows headlights. Lewis turns around and a car hits him, knocking him onto the windshield and throwing him into the air. The driver stops, gets out, then he gets back in and drives off. After about six minutes, you see Lewis walk away. He said he doesn't remember getting hit. “I remember waking up bleeding,” he said. “My hand was all messed up. My head was messed up.” Lewis added: “He could've helped me out some way. He didn't have to leave.” The footage was captured around 5 a.m. Saturday, thanks to security cameras set up outside Dale Lynn's pawn shop. “I came in and I saw this horrific video,” Lynn said. “I thought, ‘This guy can't be alive.’”

Why do people say "god was looking out for me" when clearly he wasn't.

So true.
People forget that God is always there and aware. He also wants us to learn and sometimes pain following a dumb action is the best teacher.

It's best to cross the street - not run down the middle of it.

If God was looking out for you why did he let you get hit in the first place?

@Setanta It's complicated! God made him get hit so that he could later save him! God is seriously co-dependent and manipulative.

@Setanta God can't stop idiots from being idiots. However maybe this will stop him from further being an idiot.

@DivineWisdom God can't stop idiots from being idiots? Wow, his omnipotence is seriously overrated.

@DivineWisdom If your god isn't omnipotent then he's fired. I will only accept the highest standards where gods are concerned. There is no room in the universe for second-class inept deities.

God has given us the free-will to be smart or careless. We should not mistake the bad outcome of our actions to mean that God does not exist or that He is not All-powerful.
Our decision to do dumb things does not reduce his omnipotence. Whether you believe in God or not we will all leave this world eventually. So do the best you can with the time that is given you.
And that includes not running diagonally across the street with traffic.

If you are going to cross the street, cross the street.
Don't run across it diagonally like a retard.

@sungam Good point. At least run diagonally in the direction of traffic so you can see what is coming towards you.

@sungam because that is where you need to go. The person was obviously speeding or under the influence.

@mgroverorg You go across the street directly, then go where you need to go. He didn't have the right of way to begin with (didn't use a crosswalk) and to top it off he dicked around in the street for far too long because of his diagonal path of travel.
He broke pedestrian laws put in place for his safety, and at least played a major role in his getting hit.
That's not to say the other driver isn't far more guilty and ultimately the scumbag here.

He deserved to be smacked for crossing the road so casually at the angle.

I don't understand how some horrible thing happens to people and they say god had my back.
If god had your back you would have floated into the air before the car was able to smash your ass.
