德國男子目擊車禍見死不救 遭警方調查

German police are searching for a cyclist who filmed a dying man after a road accident instead of going to his aid.

德國某地近日發生一起交通事故，一名目擊者發現後不但不施救，還用手機拍下摩托車駕駛員垂死一幕，目前警方正在搜尋此人。

Police say the cyclist could be prosecuted for failing to assist the 29-year-old who had crashed his motorbike into a lamp post. He was later pronounced dead at the scene of the accident in Heidenheim near Ulm in southern Germany.

這起事故發生在德國南部烏爾姆附近的海登海姆，一名29歲的摩托車駕駛員撞上燈柱，之後當場死亡。德國警方稱，目擊的騎行者可能會因爲沒有施救而遭起訴。

The cyclist, who is thought to be in his early 20s, filmed the aftermath of the accident on his mobile phone and continued to do so when an ambulance crew arrived. When medical staff complained that he was hampering their work, he refused to leave or stop filming. He fled just before police arrived.

目擊的騎行者預計年齡在20到25歲，事發後他用手機進行拍攝，而且在救援人員趕到後仍繼續拍攝。當醫護人員抱怨說他妨礙了救援工作後，他拒絕離開，也沒有停止拍攝。警察趕到前他才匆匆離開。

Police said the case served to highlight the problem of "gawpers", or "gaffers" as they are known in Germany, who slow down or stop their vehicles to film accidents on their phones, often publishing pictures or videos of them on social media.

警方表示，該事件再次凸顯了一些人"見死不救"的問題，這些人在德國也被稱爲"圍觀者"，他們路遇事故時，減慢腳步，或者停駛車輛，用手機拍下現場，還經常把照片和視頻發到社交媒體上。

In July, German rescue services said gawpers had impeded their access to victims of a bus crash in Bavaria and speculated that they may have reached them sooner had drivers, who were concentrated on capturing the scene on their mobile phones, not failed to open a corridor to allow their emergency vehicles through. Eighteen people died in the ensuing blaze.

今年7月，德國救援機構稱，見死不救的圍觀人羣妨礙了他們救援巴伐利亞州一起公交車事故的死傷者。事發時附近的司機堵在路上用手機拍照，沒有給救護車讓出通行的道路。救護人員推測說，如果不是因爲這樣，他們原本可以更早抵達現場。此次事故引發的汽車燃燒導致18人死亡。

The German psychologist Wolfgang Kruger said the "gaffer" phenomenon was nothing new, but had been given a new lease of life thanks to smartphones.

德國心理學家沃爾夫岡·科魯格說，見死不救這種現象並不稀奇，但智能手機出現後這一問題更加凸顯。

"Sensation-seeking is the simplest way to bring a bit of excitement into one's life. The thrill factor is only heightened when photos or film footage are posted online," he told the Hamburger Morgenpost.

他告訴《漢堡摩根郵報》說："尋求刺激是給生活帶來興奮感的最簡單方式。當照片和視頻發到網上時，這種刺激因素會加強。"
