Accident report

Long story and my typing may get vague, due to my hands shaking from fear...

I was on my way to work this morning, crossing the street to get to the store, when this old guy in a silver Honda came creeping around the corner. I was in a crosswalk. I had the pedestrian light. I had the right of way. Even still, he clipped me, knocked me to the ground and probably would have kept going if I hadn't been screaming my lungs out. He got out and I accosted him, but of course the little rat had to insist he had the right of way, before he took off.

Fortunately there was a witness, who saw more of what was going on than I could have, and I got his address. Once I got into work, I told "Sharon" in the courtesty booth what had happened and she called the police for me, so I could file a report. Three minutes later, one of our town's finest arrived and got my statement.

I'm fine. I've got a few scrapes and bruises, but I'm fine I worked the rest of the day without incident (just to keep on keeping on), other than getting a little emotional, and one of my co-workers kept telling everyone what happened.

There are people driving who shouldn't be. Please, pray that the police find and catch this man and that he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
