dude, was a hit and run. Than GOD we are OK, the car is ok, minor bruise but what drives me nuts is the guy kept going. I was shaking like a leave cause it scared me, it was sort of in slow motion till the car got hit then it sounded worst than what it was. I just saw the truck,pick up truck, coming at me as I was trying to make a left, I allway inch out because you can't exactly see. Well Thank goodness for my inching because has I come all the way out, well, I don't want to think about it. It was weird because all was clear then all of a sudden like a phantom, the truck was there it wasn't much either one of us could do. I know he was going faster than the speed limit, which still is not that big of a deal, what bothers me is he kept going and left me and my kid there. I sure hope he can sleep well tonight. what's even worst, no one, that saw it, stopped to ask if we are OK. I have been in situations like that and I have stopped on most occasions to ask if the person was OK and should I call the police. I don't know what's going on with people anymore. Well, I filled a report and proceed to go get my dinner. I am just sitting here shaking my head. If you read this and if you find someone that may need your help, stop and help them, It won't cost a dime and I am sure It won't take up much of your time. Count Your blessing, I know I will...good night.

That is awful.... Glad to hear that you are both fine though :) I cannot believe that the driver of the other car did not dtop at all - surely he knew what happened??? I am so sorry to hear that - I hope that there is some way they can find who it was... Like you said hope he can sleep well with what he has done. Have a good night, take care :)

Thanks so much for responding. yeah, it is pretty terrible. This weird thing is etched in my mind, when I was driving back home, every truck similar to the one that hit me, I looked to see if it was him. I am sure he will not be passing this area anytime soon. I just want ask him why he didn't stop. I only got a ding, I wouldn't have filled a suit or make a big deal. (are you alright? would have been just fine)

I agree - he really should have stopped - it would have been the right thing to do - even just to make sure you were all ok
