Seriously.

I'm continually amazed at the lengths Karens will go to in their minds to convince themselves they're not at fault.

The truck driver was not in an accident, you were. It’s not relevant why the other person stopped, you hit them. If they hit the truck, then he would be charged for not yielding the right of way, but that’s not what happened.

A) you’re at fault, even though it sucks
B) the insurance company will deal with it

Sorry OP but were you following the two second rule? You must always give yourself room to stop the car in front of your stops.

The tow truck did not hit anyone so why would he exchange info.

I actually saw something similar, a mattress fell out of pick and lady slammed brakes and got rear ended.

Drive by the area and see if there are any traffic cameras. If there are you might be able to get the police or local authority to review the tape but you will need to do it quickly as sometimes they get erased within a few days.

You are 100% at fault. Any insurance company would tell you that you should have left enough room to be able to hit the brakes in time.

It's a classic he said/she said. Without a police report you will more than likely be found at fault.

Extremely difficult to be found not responsible for rear ending someone.

Had a friend who rear ended someone backing up on the highway because they missed the exit and they were found responsible.

The tow truck that was beside you, caused you to rear end someone?

You were going too fast and following too closely to avoid hitting her. You are entirely at fault.

In Alexandria a few years ago a dump truck ran over a pedestrian so violently it literally cut her body in half. The driver kept going, dumped her load of gravel and drove all the way back to PG County to her job headquarters. She left a trail of blood for several blocks (I saw it) and a woman’s dismembered body in the street (the police couldn’t even identity her for a few days and because she lived alone there were all these announcements by the police to please report anyone missing, it was awful). BUT because there were no other cars or witnesses at the intersection, no traffic cams or other cameras, and the body was literally so badly damaged the investigators couldn’t tell whether the victim had been on the sidewalk, crossing at the crosswalk or running/walking for exercise in the street, the only testimony the police could count was the dump truck driver who claimed she didn’t know she had hit anything and stuck to that story, no charges were ever filed.

point: if the tow truck driver denies everything, you didn’t call the police at the time of the accident, and there is no damage to the truck, I think you’re SOL.


That was Deborah Ann Bogart, aged 60, who was killed on September 3, 2015, around 9:20 am, at in the intersection of Braddock Road and Commonwealth Avenue.

It's not true that the police couldn't identify her for a few days. They identified her, notified family, and released her name that day.

It is true that the driver was never charged with anything, but that's not unusual. It's rare for drivers who kill pedestrians to be charged.

It sounds like its your fault. You didnt allow proper stopping distance. Drivers here just arent taught that anymore. I wish drivers ed focused on that.
