How in the **** do you run over something/someone with arms and legs and clothing and not think "Shit, I think I just hit something with more mass than a squirrel...maybe I should see what just happened."

I was driving on 35 one night after midnight with a buddy following me and I hit something. It was dark out and I hadn't any idea what it was, but it wasn't a huge impact so I kept going. What was I supposed to do? Stop, reverse back a half a mile, and wander around on the highway looking for who knows what? The most likely thing is something that fell out of a truck or separated tread from a tire and those make loud noises if you hit them.
My friend told me when we got home that it was a trash can that was rolling around on the road that I had hit.
Without being too graphic, depending on the distance the body traveled after it went out the back door, it may not have been like hitting a deer. The body could have come apart on the pavement quickly.
It's a sad story, but the drivers could definitely have been oblivious and the woman would not be alive had the other two of the three stopped.
