Driver should have stopped




It was Wednesday morning, Dec. 2, around 8 a.m. and I was headed to work. I was in the process of dropping a friend off at work on Pioneer. Making a left hand turn into a business was almost impossible due to the snow not being removed from the turn lanes. Awaiting my turn, I had stopped all traffic in the right lane. Feeling terrible about making people stop on their way to work or to drop off kiddos at school, I pulled over as far as I could without getting stuck in the median and waited until I could make my turn.

The traffic behind me then started to proceed past me with caution. Well, I thought it was with caution; one car, two cars, three cars, then SCRATCH. What in the world. There was a dark pickup (couldn't say the color due to darkness) with a white plow attached to the front that didn't move over far enough. Then he proceeded to pass by us and he looked down at my front seat passenger and drove right on by. He did not attempt to stop to see the damage he caused, and he had to know he hit me, we sure did.

So to this man in the pickup: I wish you a happy holiday. I only hope that if you do this to someone else you at least take the time to stop and take care of the situation.
