in my haze

I forgot to relate one of those freaky odd occurrences. The ge and I were driving to the bank and at a stop sign, a very drunk or drugged woman was lurching around in the intersection. She was approaching people's cars but it wasn't clear what she wanted. We considered what we should do and while M. was using the ATM I called 911. Of course, as you cell phone users know, connecting to 911 via cell is tricky at best and my call didn't go through. She was still there when we drove back by and hadn't yet been hit by a car. What would you do in a similar sitch?
