Hit and Run
I was the victim of a hit and run this morning. It happened near my
house where two lanes merge into one. I was in the lane that does not merge. A guy in a red pickup with a metal trailer came up alongside and
tried to get if front of me. His lane had already basically ended and
he almost hit me with his truck. I slammed on my breaks so I wouldn’t get
hit by his truck. I also laid on the horn. He ended up hitting me with
his trailer. He didn’t even stop. He knew he hit me.
I followed him
hopping he would stop and pull over. The next light we came to he went
left while the light was red, so that he would get away from me. I am
still slightly in shock. The damage to the car isnt that bad, but
emotionally it did a number on me.
Here are pictures of the damage.

Why not call the police, instead of following him,
That is sooo crappy!! Sorry it happened!!
I’m sorry it happened & it sounds like this person was in the wrong to do what he did to you. He must not of been very observant. I do not think his employer is going to be very happy with him.
Hit & Run is illegal. Did you get his license plate number & turn it into the police? Aren’t you suppose to stay @ the seen of an accident. This way, the police has proof of what happened & how it happened, & not just by UR say so.
Praise God that you are ok. You can replace the car or get it fixed. Did you get the number of the truck?
no clue what your supposed to do. Never had anything like this happen to me before.
I didnt get his license plate or anything
I dont even know if it was ford, chevy, dodge. No clue
We will most likely just buy some touch up paint and fix it.
I have no clue what you are supposed to do when the other person takes off.
There is no body damage just paint damage so we will get touch up paint.
Just still shocked at the hit and run.
For a long time all that kept going through my head was He hit me. He hit me and he didnt stop. He hit me. He hit me and didnt stop.
I Parked at my grandparents church and called them crying wondering what to do because the guy hit me and didnt stop and then went left at a red light to get away.
I was in shock.
I think I am still in slight shock.
Yeah we had a crazy experience when traveling at Christmas, some guy was tailgating us like crazy and instead of simply passing us he tried to run us off the road!! Can you believe it! We had 3 small children in the car!! I was asleep when it happened, hubby told me about it later. If I had been awake I would have taken the number and called the police immediatly. Some people think it is unchristian to do that but I think that is taking nonresistence out of context. The Bible tells us that the government is placed there by God for our protection. They act (or are supoosed to anyway) as God’s arm of justice. I would not seek personal revenge as I DO believe in nonresistence (within context) but I WOULD not even hesitate to inform the police if someones actions warrented legal intervention! So sorry you had to go through that

Glad that you are ok.
That’s a rip. I hate it when people act like that.
how absolutely horrable. were you able to get his liscinse number? i hope you are ok now. that must have been absolutely terrifying.
Kristen, I am so glad you are ok. I hope you are not sore tomorrow from the situation. I will pray for you that you will not have a flare up with your fibromyalgia with the stress that had to have caused. God bless and keep you.
So glad that you are okay, i don’t know why people don’t stop when they know that they hit you
have a good weekend and get some rest
