My mother had an accident not too far away from this one..
She was parked at Home Depot, in their parking lot; and then the intercom chimed in, "will the owner of an Infinti G37 with license plate bla bla bla please come to the front desk", and so my mother went to the front desk.
They then told her at the front desk that someone was looking for her in the parking lot, and she went outside to her car. There were two people there (the couple near my mom's car that were concerned after they saw her vehicle get hit) whom then told my mother that they had seen this young kid hit my mother's Infiniti with his Toyota Tundra, and he was about to drive off when they stopped him and asked for his info....they got his info, but because he seemed angry and in a rush, they didn't believe it was his real info, and so they wrote down his license plate as he drove away; and then they told her, call the police, get them here, tell them what we told you, and have them find that man...
And so, my mom followed suit, and called the cops. They came in, and then proceeded to find the young man. Unfortunately, he had given the wrong info, and so they charged him criminally, as obviously it's illegal to give the wrong info; and as the result of three weeks later, and a bunch of insurance claims and bills and all that fun stuff, her car is now back at her house, and it looks brand new.
The front left tire bumper had been completely dented in, to the point where the wheel was barely able to work, much less turn.
Now, she is waiting to hear about the young man's "charge" and see what he gets for it...he may get jail time as far as I've heard from my mom...
But hey, that's life..what can ya do?
Don't let it get to ya, try to think of the best of it.
I had a motorbike crash once, funny thing is...the bike went into a ditch, and I just rolled along the road....much like a ball rolls on the road. Not fun, I was dazed, but my helmet/bike had NO scratches whatsoever, so I consider myself very very lucky. All I had was a scrape on my leg, and a sprained leg from the side of the bike slamming my leg into the ditch and then ejecting me onto the road.
