Ouch!!!

Today on my way to school I was the third or so car back in line at the light, when the light turned green we all went along with a bicycle rider. The first car turned into an auto shop on the right not seeing the kid on the bicycle and HIT HIM!!! The other cars in front of me looked and kept on driving. I pulled over and ask the boy if he was alright and by that time the driver was out and YELLING at him that it was his fault!

I ask the boy if he wants me to call 911 and he says please. I call and typical 911 nowadays I was answered with an auto machine and put on hold. The driver goes to his car and I wasn't sure what he was doing and before he could drive off I hang up and run over and take a picture of his license plate. He saw me do this and gets out again and I call 911 back.

This time I was answered when I called and the operator could hear the man yelling at not only the boy now but also me! He kept telling me to leave and mine my own business! They send the firefighter, ambulance, and the cops!

While we are waiting for the cops to get there the guy's old man or someone continues to get into my face and the guy driving is freaking out. I keep telling him he is going about it all wrong and he should of at least asked the kid if he was alright and say sorry; which he never did.

The poor kid says to me I'm just a 20 year old trying to go to college and I can't afford a car so I ride my bicycle here. He was so freaked out and then to have the guy yelling at him on top of all that was crazy!

The guy who hit him had a lot of choice words, my favorite..."oh I know what this is, its cause I'm Mexican." That got a giggle out of me cause who says that after THEY hit someone? Then he tries to pay the kid money to just leave and the kid tells him no and the guy goes off again.

The boy who was hit kept saying sorry to me cause he thought I was going to be late for class, but I go at least an hour early to find parking, so I was good to go. The cops get there and I tell her what I saw and she sends me on my way.

What a way to start the day huh?
