HIT AND RUN!

Last week, as my husband and I were driving to the Soul game, over the Walt Whitman Bridge we were involved in a hit and run accident.

We were in the middle lane at the top of the bridge going about 50 mph, when out of nowhere we were struck from behind and struck hard.  We have an  Expedition that was in perfect shape, and the vehicle that hit us was small and hit us so hard that it messed up the truck all the way to the driver and passenger doors. The drivers window will not go up and down anymore. It's stuck open. The left  rear passenger door cannot be opened. Our hitch is now totally upside down under the frame of the car. Our vehicle looks really bad in the back.  And we have some injuries as a result.

After the accident accured, being our vehicle was driveable, we drove to the end of the bridge and pulled over. Looking back in the rearview mirror, the little white or silver car had traffic stopped.  But the traffic started to flow again and a few cars slowed down and asked if we were ok. In the mean time, as we were waitng for the Police to get there, the driver left the scene. POOF! Gone! No one remembers a smashed up car going thru their toll booths. No immediate camera pics were available.  Amazing, we went from having a beautifully taken care of 10 year old vehicle that we were very proud of, to a piece of junk that makes me want to cry every time I see it. Its just not fair! How can some one live with themselves knowing they caused an accident and left the scene?Will the Police watch the camera shots and find this person? Do they really care? Maybe I'm just to nieve!

Have you called your insurance company? One of 3 reasons the driver fled:

1) He had no insurance
2) Drugs in the car
3) he'd been drinking

Sorry to hear about that terrible event. Hope you are ok.

Yes, we've been in touch with the insurance company.
Yeah, I know it's one of 3 reasons, or maybe all of them.
Thanks electrons, I'll be ok, it could have been worse. I have to think about that, to make myself less angry.

I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. The person that hit me had a new car but still took off. Only wish i got his License number.

No we didn't. We actually thought that the car was not moveable and was still up on the bridge. We don't know how he drove away, since he had a smashed windshield and a smashed up car. He stopped all the traffic at the top of the bridge, but as we reached the toll area and stopped, cars started coming. He must have snuck passed when we were talking with the people driving by asking if we were ok.
