What??? a hit and run by a truck? I cannot for the life of me comprehend that.

He took off. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve told this story on the forum before but it has been close to 15 years, IIRC, since I last talked about it.

I believe you. I can't see a legit commercial truck driver risking his means of earning a livelihood by doing what he did unless there was something wrong about him in the first place before he hit you.

I see; it’s a valid statement. I should clarify. I sued him and during discovery, it came out that he would be terminated if he got in another accident so that is why he left. But, I left out that he came and asked how I was doing. I told him him I thought I would be OK. He then said he’d needed to use the radio back in his truck to call for help. However, instead of radioing in for help, he took off as I was still alive and breathing. I wasn’t really paying attention to much, shock, pain, and all that so I didn’t even know he had left until the UHP told me. So, reckless driving with some humanity that faded as soon as he saw I had a pulse and wasn’t in danger of dying. The other trucker, who saw the entire accident, was the one who nailed him for LEO and me.
