I was in the same situation a couple weeks ago, a guy got hit by a car at the end of my lane where it meets the main road. We didn't stop because several people were already around him and several more were on their cell phones. We did stop half a mile down the road though when we saw an ambulance pull off the side of the road. They looked confused so I rolled down the window and told them where the accident was. I later found out that a man had shot himself nearby, not sure if the incidents were related but I'm sure now that it was the reason the EMT's were confused.
Last year my dad and I came up on a guy who had just wrecked his motorcycle. My dad got out and talked to him, trying to keep him awake while I called EMS. Again several other cars were stopped and people were trying to help.
I have never witnessed an accident or otherwise where regular people didn't try to help. Then again I have never lived in a huge city like NY where I suspect something like that is more likely.
