[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This morning we were trying to go somewhere, though we ended up turning around and coming home because of the street closures due to downed trees. However we saw a ridiculous incident while we were out.

A River and Western we saw a van hit the side of a white truck. The van seemed to have failed to stop at the stoplight where the lights weren't working. The truck was already in the intersection and the van just plowed into it. To be fair, there wasn't obvious damage from what we could see.

However the van driver, after hopping out and only looking at his own car for damage, jumped back in and sped away. The other truck had four hispanic men who had pulled out of the intersection and were getting out to survey their truck for damage.

My husband and I followed him and although he seemed to be going 50 in a 25 to get away, we managed to write down his license plate before he sped out of sight.

We went back to the intersection, hoping the truck was still there, but they  had left.

Anyway we are trying to decide if we should report it. There wasn't necessarily damage that we could see on either vehicle and the men didnt stay to report it, but on the other hand it's clearly f'ed up that the driver at fault only looked at his own vehicle and then sped away. I guess we could call the nonemergency line and report it, just in case the men reported it and would benefit from having the license plate reported. I don't know if they will be otherwise swamped...would you report it?
