3800 Hit and run......

[Fish]

I was on my way to work tonight when there were a few cars parked in the middle of the road. There was one lane where people could get by and I looked over and saw a shoe in the road followed by what appeared to be a 13-15 year old boy with a huge bloody nose and looked all banged up. I stopped to offer assistance but there were already people there helping him. I asked if anyone called 911 and heard sirens literally seconds after I asked the question. The description of the car that I heard was a late model white sedan. Apparently a Dodge Durango chased the car but lost him.

If I didnt stop to get gas I would have been right there and saw it happen. I could have chased the car myself and had an easier time keeping up. I didnt hear much about the boy since he was already surrounded by others wanting to help and then the Vernon Hills PD and fire departments along with an ambulance was already at the scene and swarmed him.

How can someone hit someone then run away??

That sucks. I never understood that type of stuff either. I think usually, the person just freaks out and doesnt know what to do, then the only thought that enters their mind is to run so they dont get in trouble. Possibly some punk kids. Hope the kids alright.

who got the plate number?

 

[Fish]

I dont know. I dont know if a plate number was even written down. Id hope the guy in the Durango that chased him got a plate, or even a partial plate. By the time I got there the car that hit the boy was gone, but there was no emergency people there yet.

I know how you feel somewhat fish.....except I was in the middle of the entire thing. A couple of years ago I witnessed an accident on my way to work and this kid in a truck took off......Well I decided to go after him. The guy tried to run but I went after him. Luckily I had my cell called the cops and stayed with the guy until the cops arrived. Wierd thing is I never got called in to tesify or anything. My guess is the guy just pleaded guilty.

that's sick... hope they find that shit head

 

[MIKES3]

Dam, that is so horrible. I feel bad for the youngster. I hope the kid is all good. SOund like he will be ok. On a side note you have to be careful chasing lunatics like that. You never know if they are strapped and what not. Just looking out for fellow GPers.

thats screwed up man, i hope they get the person responsible but hope more that the kid is ok, thats really what matters first.

How bad did he look?

 

[Fish]

From what I saw he didnt LOOK too bad. I saw a bloody nose, and a bruise on his head. This was from 20 feet away and with people around him.
