My wife and I were coming home on Saturday night when we witnessed a hit and run. We were driving through the parking lot of our apartment complex. We turn the corner and are driving through the rear parking area when this truck comes hauling ass (probably 35-40 mph) around the corner in the opposite direction. I didn't see this, but my wife said that the driver was talking on a cell phone.
Anyway, this genius swerves to avoid us, goes flying past us and SLAMS into a parked truck about 30 feet away from my car, then backs up and smashes into another car (Ford Focus) parked next to the truck they just ran into. They then proceeded to take off. My wife and I were in shock at this point, but we hurried down the other side of the complex as quickly as we safely could and caught up with the truck at the entrance to the apartment complex, since they had to stop behind someone. We were able to write the license plate down and get a description of the truck as well as the driver's general appearance (it was a woman from what we could tell, but we didn't get a good look at her face although my wife saw her profile).
We drive back to the scene to survey the damage. A bunch of people are out there by this time and one of them is on the phone to the police. There's broken glass all over the place from the broken taillights and it turns out that the truck that originally got hit got PUSHED into a Ford Explorer next to it. Of course both vehicles are dented to hell, although the Focus is in better shape. What was really fscked up was that the Focus that got backed into was brand new (the owners had just gotten it two weeks ago). Broken taillight and big dent in their bumper.
Cops show up and we give them the information we've got and go home. Haven't heard anything from them as of yet (they said they might be calling us to identify the driver in a lineup) so we don't know if they caught the driver and they confessed or they never found them, etc. In any case, we're glad that no one got hurt and especially glad they didn't hit us....
