He also questioned why videos involving one of Sia's male friends had not emerged."I felt very sorry for that girl," he is heard saying in the interview.Questioning his claim of "feeling sorry for her", Sia said his actions after the crash did not reflect that concern."If you really felt sorry for me, then why didn't you stop? It was your responsibility. If you hit me, you should have stopped and checked whether I was injured," she said.She further said the consequences of the crash could have been far worse."I could have suffered much more serious injuries. My bones could have been broken. I could have died on the spot," she said."This display of sympathy does not suit him. The videos clearly show how they fled. They did not stop even for a second to check whether the person they had hit was alive or dead," she said.
