Ouch. Stopped behind another car waiting on a bus to turn into a neighborhood. I look up in the rearview and see a white blur and hear tires squealing. He hit me doing 40+. I hit the car in front of me, and careened into the ditch. The airbag sent my glasses to the rear of the SUV. My dog boucned off the windshield. Then I saw smoke, didn't know wtf it was, couldn't open my door, and went scrambling out the passenger window with the dog in tow. Just cuts & bruises for me. My dog broke his leg and has surgery tommorrow (he'll be fine thankfully. I care more about my dog than the SUV).

The guy that hit me... illegal immigrant. No license, no insurance.
He tried to run off, but the police response time was < 2 minutes. He's in jail now.

The car that I was pushed into was a rental car. The girl had been in an accident 4 days before. She was fine, and her car is fixable.

My 4Runner is totalled.  You can't see the extent of the damage in the pics (camera died), but the frame is bent. The tow hitch was bent 90 degrees downwards. None of the doors will open or close without a lot of brute force. Hood is creased, fenders trashed, roof is bent, quarterpanels are bent, windshield broken, airbags deployed, frame pieces sticking out of the front valance, and god knows what engine damage.

Good news is that my insurance has both rental car & uninsured driver coverage. The 4Runner was paid off, so the settlement will be the downpayment for something new.

Glad to hear you are ok.  Don't worry, the libs will be along soon to tell you it's not the illegal immigrant's fault he didn't have insurance.  It's all George Bush's fault.

I'm not an angry person... but the guy smiled at me, said "no insurance, cops coming" and started walking off down the street. Had my dog not been there and hurt, I would've jumped on him in a hurry, assault charges be damned.

Very glad to hear there were no major injuries. A 40 MPH impact is nothing to take lightly.

BTW I hope your dog does well.

Funny thing is from the pictures the car with bonnet damage looks a right-off but the SUV doesn't look too bad.  I was in a crash not long ago, a van smashed into front left panel of the car.  The surface damage didnt look too bad but internally the tyre wouldnt move and it cost us $600 to fix.  We only got the money after the guy went to court for having no insurance.  Good to hear you are ok and I hope your dog makes a full recovery.   :salute

Your saying immigrant... this is not an immigrant.... immigrants are here legally. This guy is a federally sponsored crook. Weekend before last a friend of mine was hit on his harley. All three in the car were illigals, no insurance, no license. My friend is laid up in the hospitol and might lose a leg. The illegals are in jail. In my view the federal government is at fault.

I firmly believe that if illegals kill eachother the police should let them. As far as our government is concerned illegals do not exist here. If a crime is commited against an illegal... do not investigate it. If an illegal needs medical care... they can go over the border and get it..... they do not exist here.

Never miss an opportunity eh?

;)

I note that the cops response time was less than 2 minutes.  That is odd given the plethora of threads about gun control in which the cops always take forever to get there.

Your serve.

;)

Glad you and the dog are okay Indy.

I'd make sure that you goto all the illegal's hearings to be sure the courts hear what he said to you.

Very unusual response time to say the least.
It`s just facts Curvie.
Even at that ,2 minutes..................in a shooting situation can be the difference between life and death.....for many.
It`s not the police`s job to be your personal body guard.

Glad you and the dog both made it out Indy.

Cops can be standing right there.... means nothing. It's a known fact that many cops can't shoot accurately because training and trigger time are expensive.

Illegal immigrants also create high insurance rates, yet more welfare off the shoulders of US citizens.

Glad you're not seriously hurt. Hope your dog recovers quickly.  When he does, teach him to attack illegal immigrants. :)

We shouldn't bother wasting our court systems time, or jail space with this turd. Just flush him and be done.
