OK animal lovers - I found a cat in the middle of the road with a broken neck

Driving home at about 12:30am, I came to a roundabout. Going straight ahead, I saw an object in the middle of the road. As I drove around, I noticed it was a pretty big FAT cat just lying there. I continued... then I thought that I shouldn't leave that in the middle of the road, if a truck comes around in about 5 minutes, there will be guts and blood all over... and it's about 20 metres from an elementary school... and tomorrow is a school day... so I turned my shit around and went back.

I stopped behind it, got out, and went to shuffle it to the side of the road, into the grass. Of course, it was limp. As I was moving it, I saw that it's body wasn't injured, but it's head was a little fucked up... mouth wide open with blood all over... and that it occasionally moved it's paws. Not just twitching, but moving. It had a collar on, but no tag...

Thinking that it was on it's way out and there was nothing that could be done, I left it out of the way at the side of the road and carried on.

Was that the right thing to do... or should I have put it out of it's misery?
