Victims of a Hit-and-Run
by Dragon on 2010-11-12 13:53:02 UTC
Last night around 7pm we were on our way out to eat. Unfortunately we were involved in a hit-and-run on the way to the restaurant - someone in a pickup truck pulled out of a liquor store in between two cars that were waiting at the light and hit us as we were driving up in the left turn lane. That delayed us about an hour and a half, but fortunately, thank God, there were no serious bodily injuries, even though the fender on our van is messed up a bit and we can't open the passenger side door very far.

Wow, that really sucks. Glad to hear no one was badly hurt. Hope you were able to at least get the guy's licence plate number. I'm guessing he took off because hitting you made him spill his beer.

So sorry to hear that! I hope they catch the guy!!

We only got part of the plate number and haven't heard back from FHP yet, so I'm guessing that the person got away at this point unless we see the truck driving around. Unfortunately there weren't any very distinctive features.

I read this a couple of days ago, however, I wasn't logged in.
I'm glad to hear you and yours are okay.
Do you want me to come by and take a look at the door/fender? I might be able to make it a little more usable.

Thanks for the offer. We got it scheduled for repairs at Morris County Auto Body. They already had a guy pull the fender out so that the door can be opened until they can get it in.
