Side Swiped...

Well...This week went pretty fast! Monday was Valentine's day and I did get some roses and really good chocolate. Dan got an art print and some Xbox points. We went out to eat the Chile Verde Cafe, and it was delicious!
All in all a pretty good week.

That is until Wednesday night... Dan and I are in a bowling league with my work. We play every Wednesday, and it pretty fun. On our way to the bowling alley on Wednesday night we were side swiped...There was a car trying to get off the exit onto the interstate, but we were there. Most cars would slow down and go behind, which this car eventually did, but then it went around us came up on our left side, came into our lane and hit our car and then drove off...
WHO DOES THAT?!??!

It was probably once of the strangest thing that have happened to us while driving. I don't think Dan saw it coming, as most of it occurred in his blind spot. Once I saw the car that hit us was not going to stop and in fact sped away, I yelled at Dan to get the license plates number while I tried to call 911.

I called 911, and it was strange experience. I never called them before so I am not sure what I expecting, but it was weird...
I hadn't seen the damage that was done and was expecting the worst, but it was not as bad as I had imagined it.

The officer came out and gave us the info of the person with the license plate number we provided, it was for a Hispanic woman, but I saw a white male driving. Which doesn't mean it wasn't her car, but we aren't 100% sure we had the right plate number.
I don't think any charges or tickets will be issued to the person, but our insurance company is looking into it...

Not sure if we will fix it or not, because in all honesty it isn't super bad, and would rather get a couch.

Here are some pictures I took aright after we pulled over at the Speedway gas station and were waiting for the police officer to come check it out.







We were lucky that this is all the damage that was done, and that we only missed 7 frames of bowling, and could play our whole second game!

  1. OMG!! Who does that?! They could have killed someone. Wow - someone on the road has some serious road rage issues. Why didn't that idiot just speed up and clip you off at the ramp merge like a respectable a$$hole move? Glad you guys are ok and hope you DID get the license plate right. Totally unbelievable.
