Well a fat man in a ford escape rear ended me yesterday and then thought he could out run me to get away.
I got off of work and there was someone following to close and i happened to have an animal try to run out in front of me, I applied my breaks and sure enough he hit me.
I look in my rearview mirror and see he put his hazards on, and so did I. I get out (not even mad) and the guy decides it would be better to run! He goes into a parking lot and exits out on the other side (in front of me) and storms off! I hop back in my car and start driving after him and trying to call the police at the same time. We drive the the outskirts of the town and then he turns down a road on the outside of town and starts racing away. I took a lucky guess as to which road he turned down and went that way, he was further ahead of me then I could see cause I kept trying to get my seatbelt back on and get 911 on the phone. I also just got new tires the day before so the car wasnt up to going balls out.
Anyways, I made the right choice cause once I got done with the straight part and went over the hill I seen him on the bottom of the hill turning left into another road. I turn down that road telling the dispatcher what road it was on. We passed a vehicle that I hoped was a cop sitting on the side of the road cause they usually do around this area. Focusing on the driver I noticed he got stuck behind a car but when I caught up he decided to pass them, I did the same when it was safe and then the driver turned down a driveway behind a house. I was far enough away that I was hoping I seen the right driveway.
When I pulled into the front of the driveway I noticed there was a cop on me (good, turns out that was a cop) He starts calling in my plate and I hear it over the phone, I tell the dispatch that the officer calling in that vehicle is me. The officer comes over and stares at my while im on the phone which dispatch (he didnt know) and calmy asks if ill get off the phone so he can talk to me. I tell him im on the phone with 911 and that I was just in a hit an run and the vehicle is down here. He asks me to repeat myself like 10 times. I finally get off the phone with dispatch and 3 other cops show up (dispatch already sent them out). The officer has my follow him behind the house and I was praying I made the right choice of where they turned down. Turns out I did.
The vehicle behind the house was the same that hit me and was smelling of burning engine (working that poor escape to death). The officer made me confirm that this was the vehicle that hit me and I did. Then him and the other officers went to the door and a fat bald man comes walking out half naked asking whats up. The police question him and he said he has been home with the kids for awhile and that the vehicle is his girlfriends. The police notice that all the kids are in their underwear and all their clothes are in the middle of the floor. (Yes this man was stupid enough to be going 80+mphs around drop off hills, and huge turns, running through the town WITH HIS KIDS INSIDE!) THe police use their scare tatics and finally get the guy to yell "YEAH I hit him! This mother ****er slams on his breaks and then chases me through town!"
At this point one of the other officers is getting my information and tells me I should go and he will call me later to get me the drivers info. THe officer calls me an hour later and asks that I come in and give a statement. While driving there I see the driver of the vehicle that hit me driving the same vehicle! I thought the police was having both of us come in and give a statement! Luckily the driver took a left and I took a right. Turns out the police took him in for it all and have a list of charges they can press against him.
Funny thing about the story is that the car we passed was a friend of my friend who just got dropped off at my house. My friend at my house heard us pass the house and his friend called him saying that two crazy people just passed her and a cop was flying passed her trying to catch them!
OK, Damage. It isnt much at all, just some chips on the bumper, the impact was 20mph or less cause we just got done doing a right turn. My car is a 2004 Volvo S60 R. Fast and safe
