Ok I was on my way to pick up some cigarettes and gas up. Well, I was some 5 or 6 cars back from the stop light and the light turned green. Off to my right sat a chevy pickup waiting to get out of a parking lot. So out of courtesy I let him go. As soon as I took my foot off the brake pedal, BOOM!!! So I get out of my truck and talk to the guy. Mexican dude driving a early model 4 door explorer. I talked to him and he understood english thank god. So I told him let's pull over in the gas station and we'll talk. He says ok.
I pulled over into the gas station. But what does he do!?!? blows right by me and takes off down the street!! Idiot!! It them occured to me he was fleeing for a reason. No license, suspended license, no insurance or any of those or even a combination. I'm ok with no injuries but my truck suffered some minor damage. The plastic cover on top of the bumper is cracked and doesn't fit anymore. The chrome is smashed inwards. If you were looking behind my truck, the right side of the bumper is touching the paint and the left side is curved way the **** out there and one of my license plate lamps is gone but the other one is still intact. My tailgate, rear tailights are untouched thank god and it was only my bumper.
So I just sat there somewhat shookin up by this and called mother on my cell phone to tell her what happened. I drove straight home and not only did she have a bad day at work but to add insult to injury, her son gets into an accident. So we drove down to the police station and reported it. The officer took pictures of the damage to my truck and then went out looking for this guy. No more than 1 hour ago he comes rolling in my driveway. Not everday you see a cop car pull into your driveway, lol. Anyway, he came back with 2 pictures of green Ford Explorers. One of them was 2 door and the other was a 4 door(the one had hit me) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the plates off the explorer if I saw the truck and saw the guy driving it, I would be able to I.D them no problem. So the officer has 5 days to find this dude and I hope he does and I do pray the guy has insurance. Because if the officer can't find him within these 5 days or if the mexican guy doesn't have insurance, guess who the insurance company is gonna point the finger at for the guinea pig to fork over the money for my bumper, ME! Today was just not my day I guess and not everybody is perfect,,,,,,,AR
