Luckily I wasn't hurt but I was thrown from the impact. A woman in an SUV clearly saw me walking across the crosswalk - she had the red light - i was half way passed her car and she pressed on the gas and hit me and then laughed and said sorry as she was laughing then she sped ahead taking a right turn on red. I was shocked at first and not sure I was ok then I tried to get the license but it was to late. I called the police. I think the guys at the Getty saw it happen. It was SO AWFUL, weird, surreal and hateful. I am really upset that this happened in my neighborhood as I was on my way to the train to go to work. This was on the corner of Irvington by the Getty gas station. If anyone saw or knows anything I would appreciate any input. Thanks! |

I am so sorry to read that. You must be awfully shaken, I hope you are ok. Are there any video/security cameras etc around that junction that could have show the plate No.?

i just can't believe it was fun for her to do that! i'm in shock over the pure "evil-ness" that radiated from her face and laugh. |

I don't think they are pursuing this b/c I couldn't get the license plate number. You are right, she probably does take it daily but I would have to hang out and watch for her - which I would love to do - but have to get to work and have no choice about that. I will be on the lookout for her though since I go that way every day. Thx.

It was 9:35. I was catching the 9:48. It was a black SUV. I remember the grill was almost near my elbows/shoulders and I'm 5'4". Her hair was straight and neatly curled under shoulder length. Her face was round and slightly heavy but attractive. Black woman with brown skin not dark or light. She had a good smile even though it wasn't meant for me. Probably early 40's. I think she had on big trendy round dark sunglasses. Maybe on her head? She definitely looked like she just got all manicured for a full day. Her window was down so I got a pretty good look at her face. I think I'd recognize her. She seemed like a nice looking middle age lady with the "soccer mom" car. Really... it was shocking how hateful she seemed toward me for no reason at all. The hit was definitely intentional. |

If I can ask, did she swipe you as she went by? Or did she hit you head on with the bumper? Were you knocked down? I'm just trying to visualize it. I'll definitely keep an eye out, though there are so many black SUVs out there it's not likely anyone but you would be able to be at all sure it was the same person. Anyway, that really is awful. I'm sorry you had to experience that, and just as sorry that there are people like that in my neighbohood. |

Thrown by the impact!? Those words send a chill up my spine! An unbelievably blatant crime committed by vehicle, obviously directed towards a pedestrian should not go undetected and unpunished. This was no accident, by the description you give. It was a calloused act. You could have been seriously injured my friend.
I am so sorry to hear you suffered this at all, let alone in our home town ! It's a disgrace in every aspect. The woman laughing as she struck you with her vehicle indicates to me a cavalier attitude or worse.
My best wishes for a full recovery from this stressful incident.

Elizabeth -- ohymyGod! And the woman that hit you laughed? Was she on dope? Drunk? Any and everything you can remember (and I know it's a frightening flashback) will be helpful. Thank God you're okay. Why didn't she pull over? Isn't that the law? You hit someone, whether injured or not, and you pull over to call the police? |

Make some flyers and post them around the area. If the driver sees them, it may scare her into turning herself in or at least realize that what she did was very serious.
(I was hit by a car in the city about two years ago. I had a laceration over my eye that required stiches and I had to undergo surgery to repair a broken wrist.) |

Which way was she heading? Do you think if a bunch of us drove around the erea this happenedwe might be able to find the suv parked somewhere? This doesn't sound like an accident. It sounds like this woman did it on purpose. Thankfully you didn't break any bones. I hope this woman is caught. |

tomp - she did hit me straight on. the bumper. not a swipe.
if anyone sees a woman who meets this description please email me her license plate number if possible. i will go back to the police with it.
she should have pulled over but obviously didn't think once to do so.
making flyers is a good idea and i might just do that today. i seriously doubt she would turn herself in though...
ughh. i'm still so angry about it! i'm so disappointed.... |

I'm going to call home and ask my wife to mention this to the neighbors now. That's down the street from us!
I'm a bit unclear about the location of the hit & run. Was she on Tichnor facing toward Riggs (toward S.O. Ave.)? Were you in the crosswalk and she suddenly decided to go straight through the light from a standstill? Or was she still moving slowly (from slowing down) while approaching the light?
I'm just trying to visualize it a bit better.
Whichever happened, that's just outrageous behavior. It's a hit and run. |

Just getting things straight here. If she hit you head on...how would her having her window down make it any easier for you to see her? Weren't you on the ground? I would think that if one was so dazed and shaken they wouldn't be able to get up quickly to hear/see the driver laugh and say "sorry". Especially if you were thrown by the impact.
I'm just calling it as I'm reading it. |

black suv. that's all i know because that's what i saw being so close to the car and being in shock.
hit head on on driver's side, put my hands in front of me and when she hit my hands, arms and hips i spun towards the driver's side of the car and next thing i knew i was looking up at her face and the window was down.
being hit by a car is shocking... you remember what you remember.
mf and g17 - i hope it doesn't happen to either of you but if it does i hope you will find support as the other folks have offered in this thread. |

I wonder if this could be called assault with a deadly weapon. I'm unemployed now. Perhaps I could hang out at that intersection and collect the license plate numbers of the black SUV's that pass through at around 9:35. Which way was she going, and on which street?
But really, the police ought to be willing to try to figure out who committed this assault.

Elizabeth, this is awful!! SHAME ON HER!!! My guess is, either tipsy, high, or maybe she's bi-polar, as I think people like that can get off on what you've described.
I think that you should take some time off work to do some investigating, though I realize this might not be possible. The woman should not be driving, and should be either on or off drugs, whatever the case may be. |

 I just simply can NOT believe what I've read here - it is beyond appalling! I am so sorry you had to go through this and I wish I could do something to help!
Until this freak is hunted down, I hope you'll jot down every single detail you can remember about her before your memory fades - I'm optimistic that MOL will help get this person arrested, but since there wasn't a policeman, your personal ID will count toward everything regarding whether there is enough "evidence" to successfully prosecute someone.
I was almost in a very very close accident about 2 months ago with an SUV that went through a stop sign without even pausing. My young kids were in the car (screaming) and I wound up behind the psycho and wrote down all the details of the car including license plate. I tried to pull in front of the car to make them stop, but they wouldn't.
When I went to the police station to file a citizens' arrest, they pretty much told me if I couldn't positively ID the person actually driving the car that it'd all amount to nothing in the end. I had only seen the car and not the driver - couldn't have told you male or female, so I dropped it rather than piss off someone who was clearly not right in the head and who would then know MY name, address etc.
Good luck with this and hopefully some good will come from it and another deranged driver will be off our neighborhood streets! |

If I'm reading her right, Elizabeth wasn't injured, so it wasn't an emergency. The only pressing thing is the need to prosecute. That is not a police emergency, so it would be an abuse of the 911 system.

Elizabeth,
Stick to your routine, you will cross paths again. Just be aware and document everything, it may be a week or a month but eventually you will see her again.
I was hit while driving my vehicle by an idiot making a U-Turn at the intersection of Grove Road and Terrell - he hit my vehicle and took off south on Grove Road towards Montrose Street - he pulled over once he realized I was following him. He was a senior from Seton Hall Prep who exited his vehicle and cried like a baby. Feeling sorry for him I allowed him to move the vehicle back to where the accident took place to call the SOPD. I told him I would not mention the hit and run since I felt he already had plenty to explain. Once his parents arrived he denied everything, I felt like I was played the fool.
Since the SOPD didn't know what to think they let him go with no ticket or warning. I went down to the police station and filed a traffic summons for running a stop sign and making an illegal U-Turn. I had to take time off from work and show up municipal court to make sure justice was served. He denied everything and lied during the proceedings. The judge saw through his BS and his attempt to get the tickets suspended was denied. I will never cut anyone a break in the future, if you break the law there is only one recourse.

That's still the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You don't know if you have a concussion or not. If I were "thrown" by a car I'm sure I'd to the hospital to check for injuries you can't detect on the surface. (internal bleeding, head trauma, hairline fractures etc etc) A hospital visit and a police report were things that should've been done immediately.
So the person hit the victim here...and then got out of the car and stood over her so that she could get a detailed view of her face? But the car slowing down at first wasn't enough to even get a manufactuer?
I'm not saying it didn't happen. Just doesn't seem realistic. |

A black SUV, and a Black woman driver, hmmm, must be a delusion.
You should back off, unless you are 100 percent certain you are correct -
as in you accompanied the victim all day and know for sure it never happened.
Or, until a little wisdom comes your way, at which time you will recognize a little humility goes a long way.

Glock;
Believe me, it's human nature.
It's extremely common, for example, for people with chest pain to avoid the ER and insist they just have indigestion. When the trauma or illness is happening to you, you get a whole different perspective on what is "normal" and rational.
I was once face to face (very close) to a man with a knife who said "Give me your f***king purse". Broad daylight. I would not have been able to pick him out of a line up 5 minutes later. You may find it's unbelievable, but that's because you don't know anything about it. Read up on the phenomenom if you're curious--it's quite well documented.

I agree with mjh..
I was the "filling" in a car accident, a cab I was in hit a car that stopped dead, and then we were rear ended. I was in shock and "brain-numb" the paramedics kept telling me they wanted me to go to the hospital and I told them no, I was fine, all I wanted to do was get to where I was going. It was almost as though I was on autopilot.
The next day I could barely move my neck. I had nerve and vertebrae damage in my neck and arm and suffer to this day...
Knowing THEN what I know now, I should have gone.... |

Exactly. You're unlucky that it was permanent...but lucky that is wasn't something worse.
A blood clot forming as the result of this accident could easily form and later move to the brain. Killing the victim or at least causing massive brain damage.
Or it could be nothing. The point is that if I were Elizabeth I wouldn't want to wait and find out. |

Glock, that's because you are assuming she was tossed in the air like someone on TV. Have you ever been knocked down by someone? Did you need to go to a hospital? It is possible to be hit by a car hard enough to be knocked down, and not be seriously injured.
And you seem to think that the driver got out of the car and stood over Elizabeth. As she said, she saw the driver through the open driver's side window. If you've never been in a situation like this, you cannot imagine how clear some things can be, and how fuzzy others are.
When I was 16, I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle. I clearly remembered the license plate, but could not describe the car for the life of me.
But at least you've stopped lying. |

A few years ago, I was hit by a green SUV who failed to notice me, a pedestrian, while this driver was turning on to Maplewood Avenue, exiting from the parking lot between the post office and Village Coffee Shop.
It was horrible, and I screamed as I was hit head on, and did all I could to stay on my feet, because I knew if I went down, I would be run over by this person, who, I will add, stopped by the post office after making the turn, but then proceeded to leave the scene, and very cowardly, failed to take responsibility by getting the hell out of the vehicle to speak to me, and to see how I was doing. It was awful. Shame on him/her. I was ok, but upset for weeks, and sore, but glad I did not get my body pinned under the damn suv. I felt horribly disillusioned by the actions of my fellow man. |

Glock, it might be a good idea for you to stop participating in any threads where a "crime" is being discussed, as you clearly have little ability to sympathize with the victim in any situation. Just because you don't "get it" in your, clearly, very limited experience with the world, doesn't mean it didn't happen, and it wasn't awful and un-called for and un-invitied and un-welcomed.
If there ever comes a day--God forbid--when you are a victim of an attempted kidnapping/carjacking or a HBC or a mugging or being held up at gunpoint or whatever, then come back and tell us all about it in vivid detail, including the details about how you personally were doing every single possible conceivable thing to avoid becoming a "victim" and every last detail of the physical description of the person that mugged you or the car that hit you. |

I was hit by a car once, I can turned my head and looked at the car as I was in the air, I think it was green, then I can still vividly remember bouncing down the street a bit, lots of screaming, people around me holding me still, then a ride in the ambulance, very loud sirens, and the guy in the ambulance talking to me, can't remember what he was saying.
I drove a truck off a mountain once, I can remember bracing myself, pushing my feet as hard as I could against the floorboard & grabbing the steering wheel very tightly, being bounced up and down, my head hitting the roof, my hips hitting the gearshift, a very loud whine (loud whine, turns out I believe, that when I braced myself my foot was pressing the gas pedal to the floor, the tach was stuck up in the red afterwards), I can remember the truck, a military deuce and a half, running over small trees and brush (I can recall seeing this quite vividly through the window), then the next thing I remember was standing on the running board, I don't remember seeing the tree that stopped us at all.
I turned the key in the ignition, went around to the passenger side to help the other guy out, but I couldn't get him out, the tree that had stopped us went through the front of the truck back to the firewall, luckily someone had been driving behind us and came down to help me get him out.

Elizabeth,
How horrible - can you recall anything more about the car? Was it one of those huge SUV's or just a regular one?
I walk a lot. Around 2% of drivers see you and play chicken. I've been half-way into a crosswalk, made eye contact with a car and had to retreat because they just aren't going to stop.
I hope the maniac who hit you is caught and her license should be suspended forever.
Really - a hit and run doesn't deserve a second chance. You could have easily been killed.
Oh, and Glock has once again demonstrated his "selective" compassion - pathetic.

Glock, I think it happen but, the emotion of the incident caused it to be described in such a way that it may not have been as violent as one would picture in their mind when you hear "I was hit by a car!"
I do agree with Glock on the wrong actions being taken. Any person careless enough not to notice someone in front of them (wonder if they were on a cell phone or dialing one?) should have been reported. The problem is that with no injuries and no call to the polcie from the scene of the inncident it becomes a "she said, she said" event. This person -- even if found again at the same place due to a regular routine -- could never be brought up on charges unless there was some evidence on the SUV. That is the worse part of the whole sad incident. (Thankfully that is the saddest part... I would hate to imagine what could have been the saddest part had Elizabeth been seriously injured.) |

She didn't go to the hospital and get checked out so she very well may be injured and not know it. |

The police are aware of the incident - I did report it. I have no injuries. I am physically fine and lucky for that. |

I've got to say that Monster's multiple accidents may explain a lot of his posts.
Elizabeth, I'll be watching for any sudden pattern of posting ridiculous images gleened from the internet.
Glad you're okay. It's a very weird story.

Elizabeth, as others have said, it seems likely that sooner or later you'll see this woman in that vehicle again. Stay alert and be patient, and don't let the passage of a few weeks diminish your determination to find her. She is probably unstable and might do the same thing to others, so it is important to find her if at all possible. I'm glad you got through the incident without injury. |
