Wasn't it Noah who was telling them where to go though? I doubt he would of led them anywhere near where the vehicle may have been going. So maybe it was an accident after all?
So many pages of discussion about Carol getting hit by the car 
. Can't wait for Sunday for everything to get cleared up...

He said something about a safe place across the street but Daryl dragging him slowed them up while Carol went first. I wonder too if it was deliberate or not.

Nothing personal, but since I took **** for trying to minimize the wild analysis over something little, and being accused of squashing discussion, I think it's only fair you meet the same fate. Not that it will happen, though.
Well, Carol got hit in a split second after crossing the street. I don't think it was enough time for her to make a judgement call.

The moment between where she exits the building and gets hit is not shown.
I don't think Carol getting hit by the car was planned.

QFT! The Green one has spoken (sort of) and I actually could understand most of it (sort of).

Of course it wasn't planned - but I do think she stepped in front of the car on purpose. She may have assumed they'd stop, or not, I don't think Carol is above risking her life to save Daryl (and Beth) at this point, especially with a snap call. But she did it to create a diversion and allow Daryl to survive. If both Daryl and Carol were taken, they'd be screwed no matter what - Rick and the gang have no idea where they are. Carol isn't afraid of dying, which I'd think would have been obvious from her suicide mission, by herself, to save Rick.
It's quite possible that at the end of an episode that's entirely about Carol's willingness to sacrifice herself to do what she believes is best for others (even killing the crazy kid was a sacrifice, because she knew she'd have to live with it - Tyreese couldn't have done something like that), that the writers simply made her too deaf, too blind and too stupid to know the car was coming, and had her run out into the road without looking. This is a TV show after all - her actions are whatever the writers want them to be, no matter what the character has done in the past or will do in the future, to move the story in the direction they want it to go. I'm sure they'll give us an answer at some point, simply because they edited the scene to allow for ambiguity.

The train already had gone off the rails. Cosby **** summarily finished it off.

Re-watching the scene still hasn't changed my opinion that she just got hit. However, the arguments made supporting that she did it on purpose are plausible so I don't discount it. It's not like I haven't been wrong before. When they see the car outside the window it seems to be driving a lot slower cruising around then when it hit's Carol. If the cops didn't see her, I don't think they would have stopped the car so quickly. Now it's possible both theories are true in that Carol walked in front of the car on purpose and made it look like she didn't see them and they in turn saw her and accelerated on purpose to hit her. But how could she know that would be the outcome? The hit could have killed her or they could have stopped, got out of the car and shot both her and Daryl. It doesn't make sense to me that she would take that chance and I don't think Carol is that impulsive.
And another thing, those cops are kinda stupid/arrogant don't you think. They heard gunshots so they know someone is out there yet they're just cruising around in the open. I mean how do they know it's not a larger group with more weapons that would take them out and steal the car?

You are really focused on Carol having to save Daryl. I am not sure what makes anyone think that Daryl needs any type of saving. In this instance, it was three of them (Daryl, Carol and Noah) against 2 cops. They were better armed than the cops, had better position and the element of surprise on their side. If Carol's goal was to save Daryl and Noah, then she would have acted at the first instance of the cop car showing up and shoot them from one of the windows or set up an ambush somewhere inside the building. That is more along the lines of the Carol I know, much like how she was going to immediately shoot Noah when he stole their guns. I don't think any of that happened because they all were in escape mode, not fighting mode. Carol just got hit in the process of trying to escape and hide in the next building.

If it turns out to be what the others are saying I will actually find that utterly ridiculous.
I think Judith comes and saves the day for everyone.

If she's anything like Maggie Simpson, I hope we see it .

I just can't see it. I mean I dont recall Noah telling them that the hospitalites would pick up injured survivors on the road so she wouldn't have known getting hit would result in her getting picked up not to mention why would she do something as stupid as step in front of the car. She's already got a buggered shoulder, why would she risk breaking both legs or paralysis to "protect Darryl". Now I could of easily believed her collapsing next to the car or flagging them down and fainting or whatever to get inside the hospital but if it ends up that she purposely let herself get hit by a car to get in, that's just stupid writing.

Don't assume that her intent was to get hit. Intercepting the cops before they found out there were more people involved than her was the goal. People get too hung up on the details of these theories.
