Very fishy! You did the correct thing. Never get out of your vehicle.  I would have called the police right then.

I read your "answer"---your instincts as to what to do in this situation were excellent.

Even if he were seriously hurt, getting out of your car in such a situation would have been your taking an unacceptable risk---especially considering how many people depend on you.

Next time, just call the police, describe what the situation is,   and let the dispatcher send the police and an ambulance.

Let the professionals do the "protect and serve" thing.  If the guy was on the level, he wouldn't have minded---and if he wasn't, he wouldn't have left.

That brings up another point---given a person's desire to help our fellow human beings, but with a lack of professional training, we are always in danger of failing to properly evaluate all the aspects of such a situation and possibly make a mistake in judgment which may prove fatal to us.

And frankly, I wondered how someone who thought he had a broken ankle could stand the pain required to maintain a kneeling position.

Wow that's way too creepy ,You did the right thing, always trust your instincts and in this case your instincts told you something wasn't right. That whole scenario you just described gives me goosebumps, I'm so glad you went with your gut and didn't trust those creeps.

Thank you so much my friend. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought something was odd about the scenario. 🤔 AND I was the last to leave. My son in law witnessed the guy on the motorcycle leave so I can't later be accused of some sort of he said she said "hit and run" scam! SMH!

That you remained safe speaks to the wisdom of your decisions.
If you are not a trained responder, never get out of your car in roadside incidents. Especially alone. Ever. Unless your car is on fire. Police would tell you the same.
To me, you are to be commended for your thoughtful choices.

Thank you dearly my friend. That is what I was wondering. If I was "required" to be a "good samaritan" and help someone who claimed to be "hurt." I didn't know if I would get in trouble so I offered to help by making phone calls... Which he declined each offer. 🤔
Thank you for letting me know, even an officer would have told me to stay in the car.
