***Car Accident-Hit n' Run***
So my mom and I drop my brother off at Orchard Park Retirement Home (this is where he works) and we head North on 34th Avenue towards Castlevale/Fruitvale to go to Black Angus for soup/bread (all I can really eat since I had my colonoscopy yesterday). Well, we're going through the intersection of 34th and Castlevale (34th has no stop signs, going North and South, however, Castlevale, going East and West do have stop signs). Well, we get hit because some high school kid runs the stop sign. We get out and he gets out of his car. Hardly any damage to his green Jetta. Although he says one of his front tires is messed up. Then we look at my car. The front passenger side is smashed in, light broken. Ohh, and I forgot to add, my mom was driving, but when she tried to get out of the driver side door it wouldn't open, so
I had to get out of the passenger side and she had to climb over. The driver side door doesn't want to open, unless you pull really really hard. Ok, so a few people living in the neighborhood notice and come check on us. One guy over hears the kid who was dribing the green Jetta on the phone to someone saying that he's going to be in a lot of trouble because alas, he has no license or insurance. Well, my mom calls the cops and then calls insurance. She tells them both what happened. Well, this kid has one of his high school friends show up in a red car. Then about five minutes later two adults, a man and a woman (maybe his parents) show up. They try telling my mom we shouldn't report it and handle it on our own. And that everyone should just be responsible for their own car. Yeah fucking right!!! Why would we pay for my car??? We didn't hit it and we weren't the ones who caused the accident. My mom tells them she already called the police and insurance. They all start talking off in a corner and then next thing you know, they're all getting into their cars and leaving. Just as this happens my mom's friend Sue, who lives close by shows up, so my mom tells Sue to follow them. The kid I guess drives in circles, trying to speed up because he knows he's being followed. Well, he eventually goes to a house and drives into a garage, where the adults are at and already have the garage door open. They close the door and go instead. Well, luckily my mom wrote down this kids license plate number and calls the cops to tell them they left. By the time Sue comes back a lady cop has arrived. She says since the people left, that's leaving the "scene of a crime" and so fourth, etc. Sue takes the cop to the house where she saw the kid drop the car, but the cop checks the garage and it's gone. They probably went to hide it somewhere else. I guess the cop questions the people, but when she returns to us, she doesn't tell us what they said. She said, however, when she was in the garage she smelt like burnt tires, like a car had just been there. She said that they'll probably report their car as stolen, as to try and get away with it. So then the lady officer takes our statements and waits with us while my car gets towed. I guess we may have to go to court, if his parents don't have insurance and don't want to pay for the damages. Luckily, we have insurance though. So we're going to go get a rental car today. And then wait to hear back from our insurance. I guess we're not involved with the cops anymore, the insurance company is. But yeahhh, my mom and I are sore as hell. We're going to the doctors today to get some things checked out. So if anything is the matter we're going to go after them to get money for injuries and my car. I guess, it may get fixed, but they think the frame is fucked, which means they'll total it and I'll get however much money my car is worth. Which means I may get a new car. Either way, the whole situation is fucked up!! Stupid ass kid!!! And stupid ass parents!!! Karma. That's all I can say.
