Fleeing the scene of an accident (personal injury) by hs0zfe
A speeding Ford Transit van with passengers hit me while overtaking on the wrong side of the road. Guess he was doing 70 km. I blacked out. The driver took off, but the owner stayed to pay my hospital bill. Is this how things are done over ...
