Bad car accident.
Yesterday morning I was sitting at a red light when a semi carrying a gravel load turned it's wheels to the right and started to drive right into/over the top of my car. The car is now totaled, and I was almost crushed by the gravel load carrying part, it terrified me watching it scrape against my window and push it in towards me.
Luckily, the semi realized it was hitting something and started backing up. Unluckily, the semi ran from the scene of the accident, leaving me with a barely drivable (illegally so, the bumper is hanging off, missing a head light, the hood is smashed in, and the engine is acting oddly since part of it was crushed too) car. The multiple witnesses around me simply drove off when the light turned green.The police haven't found or done anything yet, and insurance has already informed me unless they do I'm screwed.
There was possibly a red light camera triggered by his driving over my car when the light was red, but unlikely. I called the Holiday Inn right next to the scene of the accident, they had no outside cameras. I've been looking through hundreds of logos, because if I saw the logo I saw on the side of the truck again, I would remember it, and we could do something about it.
Right now and yesterday I've been having long drawn out panic attacks, the terrifying feeling of almost being crushed keeps coming back.
I'm writing this up to explain what happened because kittybot insists on doing a fundraiser to help me get a new car. =/ We will be doing a Chip In event and kittybot will be drawing a fancy new item to keep accidents from occurring on your dogs, if yall could take a moment to vote in the poll that should be up any minute.
I'm eternally grateful for any help anyone can give, I hardly expect anything and couldn't ask for help myself. <3
You all are wonderful.

I agree with Larth, being the err.. women I am I'd be extremely angry if I didn't get what I wanted from that man/woman's mishap on your car. Good luck with this though.<br /> <br /> Being honest I hope for a bird companion (referencing to the poll) because a bird of Paradise is so pretty <3

Suggestions:<br /> Write down every detail you can remember about the truck: color, shape, maybe even make of the truck, etc.<br /> Pester the police department. No matter what they find, an accident happened, and it's still a crime committed, and you have proof that your car was damaged. They should be able to print out a police report on it, and it will be proof enough for the insurance company.<br /> Even if the insurance company claims they won't do anything about it, let them know that they cannot legally "do nothing" about this, because you've been paying them just in case something like this happens. A lot of the time, they'll say they can't do anything just to save the money, especially on totaled cars like this, and they get away with it unless someone actually points it out to them that they can't refuse.

Larthan, I had purchased uninsured motorist coverage a few months back and thought that would cover it, when come to find out my insurance has been allowing me to pay for PIP and UM when it covers the same thing. I'd thought I'd purchased the comprehensive UM package. So they screwed me too. x.x

You and your quest to find out who hit you will be in my prayers. I am also more than happy to help out any way I can. May you find both peace and justice.

Wondering - do you have full coverage on your car, or just liability?<br /> <br /> If you have just liability, you're just out of luck, but if you have full coverage, they're -obligated- to pay for repairs/replacement up to the amount you're covered for, otherwise it's illegal for them to refuse. :/
