My husband was hit in Johnston County years ago and left for dead. Funny, when I asked the cop for the names of the witnesses who showed up right after, he told me that he took no names. It was an ACCIDENT! Meanwhile, my husband spent 29 days in Wake Med because of this so-called ACCIDENT!
I’m sorry to hear that Gigi. I’m glad he pulled through. Its sad that people aren’t really trying to do their jobs these days.
I pray they find the one responsible for this. Such a tragedy. Prayers for the family.
So sorry to hear that this woman was struck by a hit and run vehicle, wasn’t familiar with her personally but her mother and I have been friends for over 20+years. My sincere apologies to her family and friends.
With those tinted windows…..how do you see at night? How can you hit someone and keep going? I pray they find whoever it was that hit that person and put them in jail for a very long time.
I hope that these hit and runners have it eat at them till they hate themselves and turn their self in. Carma is a b*tch. God doesn’t like ugly
