Wildlife rescue daily life in the country; helping a kangaroo who was hit by a car

I thought long and hard about putting up this video but decided (as I usually do) to show you the reality of country wildlife rescue. Country rescue is so different from city rescue, but mainly in size of the animal and vet availability.
There is no particularly close up or obvious graphic imagery in this video, however this isn't a video you would choose to watch if you're feeling emotional sensitive or fragile. The video portrays the rescue call for a large adult male kangaroo on the side of a busy road who has been hit by a car and needs roadside euthanasia.
There aren't vets who will come to the roadside and do in situ euthanasias; some of the animals are too large to transport to vets, and the animal's peculiar responses to stress often mean they die from myopathy from the stress of the accident and subsequent capture attempts (it's called capture myopathy).
So when you get called out at night for a kangaroo struggling on the side of the road, possibly female (and also possibly with a joey in its pouch), you don't know what might happen and it's rarely a happy ending.
This rescue call sounded like the kangaroo might have broken leg/s; if the roo is female, she may have a joey then we can only hope that the joey is old enough to survive without its mum and is uninjured, or that there is no joey.
But, as with most things, whatever we don't always get what we hope for.
The MOP (member of public) was lovely lady who was quite distressed by the plight of the roo which she noticed when driving home from work; her husband was one of the local police force, which made things easier when he contacted his station to arrange for police attendance.
Adult kangaroos are huge and aren't easy to handle no matter how injured they are; they're hard to catch and will fight you and can cause serious injuries if they're panicked enough; If the roo needed to be euthanased, you can't just confine and capture the animal and pop him off to the vet for humane euthanasia; it will requires roadside euthanasia by bolt gun or firearm.
This roo had bilateral broken (shattered) legs and was unable to stand up, let alone do more than crawl; it was very alert and anxious but couldn't do anything about its situation other than try to crawl away.
There was a lot of chat whilst waiting for the police to attend and we almost decided to euthanase the roo by bolt gun, but then the police and the MOP's husband arrived, a decision was made; the traffic was stopped and the magnificent roo was euthanased by firearm. I'm so glad the policeman was a good shot and could give a quick clean death from a distance. with minimal stress and no further suffering.
Thanks to the Bundaberg Police for their attendance and compassion; thanks to the MOP and her husband for their caring.
We came in to check for a pouch and/or a joey, but the roo turned out to be male; at least this way there was no injured joey or too-young pinkie joey to make the rescue scenario even worse.
