OUCH! I'm hurt. And here I thought you loved me.

Actually, my statement didn't include INTENTIONAL harm to others or foul
on either driver's part. Let me explain.
When I was 8 months pregnant, I was leaving a friend's house at 2:30 AM
to meet my man, who was doing an off-duty detail. I was having an ice
cream craving. I was on the highway, for ONCE actually going the speed
limit (okay, it was 55 and I was doing 57). It was dark. No street
lights as this wasn't a heavily populated area. I'm looking directly
ahead of me, waiting for the 7-11 sign at the top of the hill so I know
I'm almost there.
A man walked out in front of my car. I had an entire 1 second to react.
I hit my brakes and then him. He went up and over, I went to the right
and off the road. I immediately got out, called 911 on the cell phone. I
tried to call to him, started to walk to him when I saw another car's
headlights in the distance. I told the dispatcher I needed to get him
out of the road. She said not to as I would probably be hit too. He was
obviously not feeling any pain since he wasn't conscious.
I saw the car coming and I said they're going to hit him. She told me
not to look. I didn't. But I heard it. Sure enough that big white Dodge
pickup hit him and went right over his head. That's a sound I'll never
forget. But once they looked back and realized what they had hit, they
ACCELERATED and left the scene. They didn't bother to stop. Unlike the
other 4 cars that came after and hit him too. Apparently the 6th vehicle
had flares.

I went to the hospital in the back of the ambulance, he went in a body bag.
Highway Patrol came to the hospital to get my sworn statement. After all
the investigations were done, I wasn't charged with anything as A, I
obviously wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol. B, I wasn't
driving recklessly. C, by the marks from me hitting the brakes and where
I ended up I was obviously very truthful in what happened and D, the
guy's blood alcohol level was far beyond what they consider functioning.
The THI actually told me she was thinking, based on what I told her and
how things transpired, that he was possibly trying to commit suicide
(which is what the kid who walked out in front of my uncle did). He
never even LOOKED in my direction. He was wearing dark clothes, with no
lights aside from mine so there was no way I could see him until it was
too late.

Highway Patrol did look for the white truck but never found it.

She told me, since it couldn't be proven which vehicle between me and
the truck that dealt the final blow, charges couldn't be brought. She
also said that it was just something unfortunate that happened and I
obviously hadn't done anything wrong that charges wouldn't have been
brought against me anyway.

So there was my point.
