Lateral thinking questions
These are kinda like riddles, but they require 'thinking outside the box' kind of thing. Ok, here's the first one:
It is a very stormy night and you are driving. You drive past a bus stop where there are three people waiting: an elderly woman who's dying and needs to go to her family, a friend who once saved your life and the love of your life. You need to save ALL of them, and your car is a two-seater and the trunk is full. How would you do it?
Also, no googling for the answer. Feel free to post your own, just remember to answer the ones above

The bus was cancelled since it was too dangerous to drive ;p The people don't know and have been waiting for a long time. Also, wrong answer ;D
Edit: New one:
A man is laying on a field holding a stick. He's dead, yet not a single person murdered him. How did he die?

He was holding an umbrella and was struck by lightning.
I have a similar sounding one that's a little easier:
A man is lying in a field of green. He is surrounded by 53 bicycles. He is dead. Why?

Maybe cyclists ran over him, then got scared and left their bikes?
For the stick one:
Last hint: he was in a hot air balloon with two other guys.
