An attorney was on Vacation

An attorney was on vacation in a small farming town. While walking through the streets, a car was involved in an accident. As expected a large crowd gathered. Going by instinct, the attorney was eager to get to the injured, but he couldn't get near the car. Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, Let me through! Let me through! I am the son of the victim.
 

The crowd made way for him. Lying in front of the car was a donkey.
