I saw an episode of Law & Order once, where the cops were talking to a doctor who was performing a procedure on a coma patient of the opposite sex. They asked him "aren't you supposed to have an extra person in the room for protection?" and the Dr replied "The extra person is here for *my* protection so I don't get falsely accused of anything, and I don't need it since this patient is in a coma". To me the rule of "Don't get out of the car on a hot track unless you are on fire" is kind of like that. Sadly, when Ward got out of the car, his life was potentially forfeit. When he ran over to Tony, and the unfortunate incident occurred, that would not have happened if he had stayed in the car. Now Tony is left behind and has to live with it and the possible consequences. Since Ward paid such a high price for his part of it, Tony is too 9even if not convicted having to live with it seems like a high penalty)

I also saw a video analysis that shows the right-rear of Tony's car dropping down, and it suggested that Ward hopped on to Tony's car and rode along for a short distance before falling off and getting run over. It showed a few blobs that purported to show Ward's hands and feet holding on to the car. Very blurry and hard to see but it is a theory I suppose.
