Hit And Run

[DirtRider]

Well I was stopped at a red traffic light now about three cars deep from the actual light. It is one of those where you have the green arrow to allow cars to turn across the oncoming traffic. So on the opposite side facing me the three lanes are stopped for red and the end lane go on green turning.

This school child now sees the cars stopped so he runs across the road but a car coming down the turning lane on green hits him. So I think wow school child's fault but then the car that hit him just carries on riding. There was not much I could do believe me if I were in the front I would have been off after it. All I know is that it was a white car with a women driving it.

How do some people think

What the hell is wrong with people? How can you hit a child a keep on going?

Do you know if the child is okay?

 

[DirtRider]

The child got up but it did seem that his leg was hurt as he could not stand on it. People on that side of the traffic light got out to help him. I still don't understand why no one in the front row of cars did not chase after her.

Glad people stopped to help the boy. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't want to get involved in something like this. What they don't think about is what if were their child, how would they feel that no one cared enough to give chase. If that were me and I could have done something, I would have chased down this car. I would have rammed it from behind if that's what it took to catch this hit and run driver. Sad world we live live in.

Well that would have been the same as what I would have done but being stuck behind other cars I could do nothing. When the light did change I went in the direction of what the car took but could see nothing

Good on you! At least you tried unlike the others who preferred to turn a blind eye on things. The only saving grace here is that the boy was able to stand up on his own. Bless all the people who took the time to help help.

I am sure he will be ok but even so if you hit someone even if it is not your fault you stop.

too bad you were not able to get his plate #....I saw a car pulling out of a parking space, hit another car and then drive off...I wrote down the plate number and and left it in a note on the windshield of the car that was hit.....some people are scum bags

Agreed. Wouldn't surprise me if she has no insurance or something else wrong where she decided to save her behind and screw the kid. Ugh...people like this make me very pissed.

What a horrible person. How can she live with herself knowing that she hit a child with her car and kept going?

Some people just are so self obsessed that they think the world spins around them and nothing else is important.

@DirtRider did she even notice what she did?

Been in a minor hit and run myself. Was driving up a major road and to my right there was a side street you can pull out of, but really you shouldn't be making a left turn because you have to cross oncoming traffic to do so. As I was coming up, some cars to my right were stopped, but my lane was not stopped, so I went and the guy pulled out and t-boned me. I was fine and I guess my car wasn't too effed up, but it was enough that I had to pull over. Some people say they witnessed it, but we never got any of his information and he got away.
