3800 I was just hit by a truck

[imported_Diavolo]

I was running today and came to an intersection. It was a 4 way stop. There was a truck coming but she looked like she was slowing down so I do what I always do. Slow down to almost a stop and then run across the intersection (this is a college town so this is what everyone does) As I made it about 1/2 way across the lane I see out of the corner of my eye that this truck isn't going to stop.

I jumped up and ended up on top of her hood. She blew right through the stop sign and was making a right turn. She looked right at me and hit her brakes and I fell off the hood, luckly to the side of the truck becuase this bitch just kept on driving. By the time I realized what happened she was already around the turn and I could only make out the first two letters of her plate. It was a teal / green Ford Ranger, probably a 95 or so and the Letters were Ohio plates 'E''N'.

There were 5 other people around who saw this happen too. I only banged my knee up and my sternum is a little sore, but no serious injuries.

I hope I see this girl driving around town again so I can get her whole license number. Maybe I will give her a little present through her windshield :lolsign:

Dude, thats fucked up. Sure you werent trying to dodge traffic for dodgeball practice??

Seriously though, thats fucked up. Glad your ok.

if you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball.

when I first wrote this nothing really hurt, I was just going up my stairs and it was really hurting now. I think it is just because I am thinking about it. Hopefully tomorrow everything is ok.

Id still keep an eye out. If you see that truck, fuck with her first. Be like, "I heard you ran over some kid." :lolsign:

See what she does. Then get the plate number.

this isn't really a big campus (only 16,000) it shouldn't be hard to find her again. I should see if she will apologize first and maybe reward me.






with some cookies or something B)

id throw more then something through here windshield....

You said you saw her. If she is good enough, maybe some TLC can nurse your wounds. B)

:gotpics:

 

[imported_Diavolo]

well, I think I am just going to go down to the police station and report this. Maybe she has a history or something. It irks me that she just hit me and ran. Atleast if she stopped and saw I wasn't injuried seriously, it would be different. I think I do need some TLC though.

glad you're ok...


but you should've immediately reported this, along with all the witnesses who saw it....

Thats really Fvcked up!!! If she would of hit me i would of found some to throw at that truck hurt or not.

Hope you get her and hope you feel better.

I didn't have my phone on me and I didn't want to report it because I wasn't really injured. Now that I think of it I should have reported it. It was only a few hours ago.

Were the witnesses neighbors?? Will they still be in the area?? I would see if you can get them to speak as well so it doesnt make it look like you are making it up.

This is precisely why you SHOULD report such incidences, even if it doesn't seem like a big deal at the moment. You may not feel the pain right away, but you'll find, just as with most injuries, that your pain is going to get greater over the next couple of days. I would have gotten every willing witnesses' info, and reported everything to the police right away. If you ended up feeling ok, then so be it. You can forget about it. But if you end up feeling worse, or needing medical attention down the road, reporting the incident late can only cause you problems. Glad you didn't get hurt any worse, but go report it! :mellow: There's no justifiable excuse for her reaction.
