Racer's Lounge - LS1Tech Hit and Run detectives

Co-worker was involved in a non-injury hit and run by a crack head a couple weeks ago.

Cliff notes:

Co-worker get's tagged from the back, just enough to puncture the cover, no big deal right?
Co-worker pulls over, expecting the same from the Lady.
Lady runs off, won't pull over.
Chase ensues.
Lady finally starts to pull over
Lady slams it in reverse and runs full throttle into co-worker's car... Crash Derby Style!!! :confused:
Lady drives off for good.
Co-worker is now out his $1k deduct.

Co-worker might not be right on the "M" part, so try different variations.

you have a lic plate number, what did the police say?

Dude, that sucks hardcore for your co-worker. I know there are some crazy detectives here. Check out the Texas subforum...those guys are nuts.

It's been two weeks since the police report, relaying all the info he had. There hasn't been an update. Seeing as this was a non-injury, I'm assuming the detectives are just gonna let it slide to the "don't care" pile.

Co-worker isn't out for blood or anything, just info so he can hand it over to the insurance/cops.

This kind of thing just makes me sick to read about. This is why I'm afraid to have nice things. People can do this stuff, and as long as it is only property damage, the cops don't care.

My girlfriend was run off the road about 8 months ago by a pickup that decided he should change lanes, despite her being there. She ended up curbing her car, and badly damaging the front wheel. She pursues (bent wheel and all) until the guy pulls into the mall parking lot and ducks inside quickly. Fortunately for her, two Army Rangers happened to see the entire thing (they were behind her) and followed her to see what would happen. She ended up calling the cops, who took her report, as well as the two witness accounts of the incident. Guess how much money she got from that one?

Good luck in your "pursuit of justice." The cops won't care, even if you provide them with information, as it will be your co-worker's word against "hers."

Tell him to call his insurance company with the info. They can run plate numbers.

He's also told the insurance company all this info.
What's great is he was on the phone with 911 AS she was backing up into him.

Conversation went something like this:
"Okay, she stopped, what do you want me do do?"
"What?! She's backing up... I think she's going to hit me!!! What should I do?"
"Crunch.. I can't believe it.. she just hit me!!!!"

lol

So... he's not received any answers from the insurance company either? If you are in Oklahoma as well as he they don't offer uninsured motorist coverage there. Here's the situation (I'm a claim handler) what his insurance will do is pay for the damages and subrogate(Fancy word for recover from) the other persons insurance. Now if they DO have insurance he'll get his deductible back, if they don't his insurance company will take that person to court, but he will probably see no money come out of it. Also fleeing the scene of an accident is a felony I believe.

Sadly, that kind of thing tends to happen in high population areas (such as Tulsa, for example). Your co-worker might be SOL, unfortunately.

I agree, unless you happen to find the person yourself, it'll be a complete accident if the cops find/catch her. Unless it's a hit and run where a person dies they won't even contact the autobody shops. Coworker's daughter got tagged in a hit and run and buddy ended up driving around his neighborhood until he found the truck. Called the cops back and they threw the book at the driver.
