Brother hit by a car. Driver drives away.
I love my little fifteen year old brother more than anyone in the world. I've been there with him through every stage of his life. Yesterday he was walking across a busy street and he got hit by a car. Like in the movies, his body flew up in the air and did two spins before he landed on his head on the concrete. Amazingly, he is doing fine. He's out of the hospital with a gash on his head and some very badly bruised ribs, but he's walking around and not in too much pain. I am so grateful he is alive. I can't wrap my mind around this fact though. When the driver of the car got out of his car, my brother "staggered" (his words) towards him and said "I'm OK" while bleeding from the head. The driver then said nothing, got in his car and drove away. Didn't call 911, didn't follow up to see if he was OK or pay hospital bills, just drove away. I can't believe someone would be so callous to a human life. It really makes me sad.

This happened to my brother last year, but he was on a bicycle. The guy drove away. My bro is fine, thank God.
These drivers were probably on suspended licenses or high...F*ck them. Their f*cked up ways will catch up to them. It always goes down like that.

OMG I'm so glad he's ok! Did anyone see it happen? Have they caught the guy yet?
Re: Brother hit by a car. Driver drives away.
That is so horrible. I'm glad to hear he's okay. :hug:
Re: Brother hit by a car. Driver drives away.
I'm so glad he's ok.... My best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery!!! So many drivers are so fucking callous it makes me sick. Riding on a motorcycle I am so ultra-aware, I see everything that makes me just shake my head... this is absolutely horrible, sun child, but it could have been worse....
I HOPE CAR-MA BITES HIM IN THE ASS.

oh jaysis! i read the beginning of the story and i was like this isn't going to be good.
thank goodness he's alright though! i'm a little surprised the hospital released him so quickly.
Re: Brother hit by a car. Driver drives away.
That is awful!! Thank God your bro is okay! I don't see how someone could live with themselves after doing that. I would not be able to look myself in the mirror.
Re: Brother hit by a car. Driver drives away.
I'm happy he's ok...did he get the license plate number by chance? Even a partial? Does he know the color, make, model of the car? If he files a police report and gives the little details he knows, they might be able to run the info through their computers , then examine any matches for body damage. Then your bro can file charges/sue for bills, punitive damages, etc. Maybe I saw too many eps of law and order, but a police report will at least document the incident. Again, glad he's ok....that's definitely the most important thing.

How was the driver able to just drive away without being stopped by someone else if it was a busy street???
Glad your bro is ok.
Re: Brother hit by a car. Driver drives away.
It's a busy street car-wise, but not pedestrian-wise. It all happened really quickly. Good thing is that he's up and walking.

I wish your brother a 100% recovery, and a beat down to that effing Devil in the drivers seat.
