We were walking back home from dinner, we waited forever for the red light, we crossed on the pedXing, DH went first pushing our double stroller and I went behind him. Your daughter failed to stop at the red light and hit my backpack. I was terrified!!!!

Obviously I didn't get the license plate. She didn't even notice she hit me. She had her head down and her phone in her hand.

People, please don't use your phone while driving!!!!!!

You can kill someone, you know?

How did a car hitting your backpack not even knock you down? And how did you manage to see that it was a teen girl texting? Why not take some of that time to jump out of the way?

The driver was in the wrong, of course, but holy crap.

Hmmmmmm.

Large number of details obtained, somewhat improbably.

I tried making eye contact, yelled waved and jumped out of the way that's why she "only" hit my backpack.

Wow, DCUM never ceases to amaze me.

OP, I have a teen daughter. How about letting us know WHERE this happened? What time, what intersection.

Thanks.

The incident you are describing would take place within a split second. And you had time to do all of the above? Was the driver making a right on red? Something about this story is off.

OP, A similar thing happened to me once. I was walking in the parking lot toward my car when a man suddenly backed out of his parking space and missed me by inches. In fact, I was so startled that I yelled and hit his SUV with the two grocery bags that I was carrying.

It only takes a split second to see a driver and recognize basic info (age, sex, hair and skin color). As someone who walks a lot, nothing seems off to be about OP's description of the event.
