Hit N Run...

So I am driving down the street tonight. It's raining. It hasn't rained in a good while and the streets are filled with accidents today. I am driving, Sean is in the passenger seat. The truck beside us nearly hits the car into front of him. I am not normally a cautious driver, but feel the need to reduce my speed and let things take a slower pace.
Just two blocks later... the two lanes of traffic come to a fast slow-down. Oh no!! In slow-motion... Sean and I witness the truck SLAM into the car in-front of it. That car had already gone slightly out of his lane, because of the slowing cars the slowed SO quickly.

THEN... I realize that the truck is again speeding up. Wait... oh I think he is pulling out of the middle of the road. NO WAIT... he is speeding up and taking off. SO... my foot hits my gas pedal and I get his license plate. "That JERK".

I end of pulling over quickly and putting on my flashers. I RUN to check on the two in the car that was rear-ended. The passenger ended up in an ambulance with a neck collar on. :(
The cops were great... there in 30 seconds... sadly having just been up the road at another wreck. The license plate came back to a Truck, but not the one we saw. Hopefully that driver will get karma in his rear-view mirror. :(
Atleast these poor people that were hit, have witnesses and info to go on. I HATE that so many people see things happen and don't take the time to help a fellow human. Then for someone to cause harm and just take off. Jeez! :(

Anyhoo... back to my party planning. Meghan is going to have a birthday party / slumber party next weekend. :)
