Witnessed a poor cat get knocked down

Not really sure the point of this post but I'm devastated and have nobody else to speak to.
Driving Ds home after school today and witnessed a cat get hit by a bus, poor thing rolled into the road then started flipping around everywhere. The bus driver and people on the opposite side stopped to try help it but I didn't want DS to see it so I couldn't stop.
Got home to see on the local Facebook page that it had passed away shortly after and I've been a mess since, that poor soul that hit it he looked devastated.

That must have been horrible to see. Many years ago when I was a young thing going on my first weekend away with my boyfriend, we saw a car hit a cat. Nobody stopped and the cat was stumbling around in the road. We stopped and I held it while it died sadly. It bit my arm badly too as i guess it was in pain. We tried to take it to a vet to be disposed of but they wanted a lot of money so we gad a makeshift burial in a wood. No collar sadly. I still think about that after 40 years.

Poor cats. It's not nice to witness.

Oh @RaininSummer that's so sad, I could never carry on driving it's someone's pet. That was lovely of you to lay it to rest

@CalicoPusscat no not at all, poor thing. He wasn't chipped apparently so I hope they manage to find its owner to let them know
