is she single? Maybe it will be some great 'how we met' type story, he's her hero! Is he single?

LOL, no he is the father of two toddlers. He was really good-looking, though. As for all the cops at the precinct who enjoyed ogling her...actually they were very respectful, but now they know where she bartends.

Right, Kerry (my daughter) said the TWO traffic cops on duty did not even respond. They went on directing traffic. I am going to check with the good samaritan to see if he included this in his statement - which I believe he did because he was also almost hit.

Later on, while we were in the emergency room and Kerry's thinking was clearer, she laughed and said she had just remembered what she was thinking before she got hit, "The traffic cops do a good job of keeping the cars moving".

WTF?!?!!?! :mad:

there were COPS THERE?!?!!? :eek:

WTF?!?!?!

oh, wow. I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter was hit :( I'm glad she's ok.

How could any decent human being not stop if they hit someone??? :eek: Especially after they were informed about an injury involved - and the woman had to know that she would be reported. Perhaps she did have something more to hide - drinking or similar. And police on the scene not doing anything? Crazy!

Kudos to the guy who helped her out!

I've said it before: maybe she had a liquid lunch.

Many, many years ago I was in a motorcycle accident and the person driving the car that hit us got out and ran. When the car's owner was confronted by detectives, she said her car had been stolen (unreported). It was actually her son driving her car when the accident happened. Lowlife. Anyway, the guy who helped my daughter got a good look at the woman, so she can't pull the same bullshit.

Oh gosh darnit.
I was in a car accident when I was like 20. The other guy was driving a Jeep and I saw him at the police station when we were filing the report and I had a boyfriend at the time and my mom was like (about the other guy): He's Cute! I was like, MA!

aw that would have been a great story though if he were single. But what a guardian angel he is. He will be blessed immeasureably.

And men in uniform! Woo hoo.

I'm wondering if this will be on the news tonight. I'll keep an eye out for the story. Maybe they want to publicize it to catch the person?

I doubt it would be on the news because her injuries were not life-threatening. All they have to do is go to the address the DMV has on file because the good guy took a photo of the license plate.

As for your Mom, she sounds just like me. I am always pointing out the "cute" guys even when the girls are in a relationship !!! They always shake their heads at me and say, "MA!!!". LOL

LOL While I was on the phone with Kerry and she said there was a guy running after the driver and being very concerned about her welfare, I thought to myself, "Hmmmmm, I wonder if it's Sticky. After all, he is in Manhattan."

This is one of the reasons why the US is going to hell in a hand basket, something happens first instict is to sue pisses me off.

Sorry, I know that is a little insensative to what your daughter went through but why sue? You should be looking to have the person who hit her locked up not sued. I mean don't get me wrong yea your daughter was injured and that sucks, do I feel she should have to cover medical costs, absolutely not and the ladies insurance company will take care of her medical bills but anything after that is just looking to cash in on a bad situation and that's just bullshit.

Sorry for what happend and I hope your daughter makes a speedy recovery and the driver of the car gets what she deserves.

its' crawling with cops over there! Geesh. Esp. transit cops, right? That's like, it's not the same thing, this is worse but for my 'new york story,' I was purse-napped in broad daylight coming out of the train in the village, and I ran after the guy and I was like "somebody stop that guy!"

nobody did :( I didn't even have money for a metro card to get home and I lost my house keys and my ID :eek:

Animal,

FYI, my first instinct was to get to my daughter's side and hug her because I still had her in my life. While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I choose to not comment on anything else you have said because until you walk a mile in someone's shoes...so the saying goes. Thank you for the good wishes.

That's horrible. I imagine it leaves you feeling vulnerable. I always keep my cash, cc's and ID in a front pocket - always wearing jeans or pants that have a front pocket - when walking around the city. If my bag got snatched, they could then enjoy putting on my make-up and smoking my cigs.

When I have to get dressed up and the front pocket is not an option, I usually have the hubby by my side, so it's all good. You know, with the economy tanking, certain crimes,like purse-snatching,are on the rise. Sad.

this happened like 10 yrs ago.
I keep my keys and cell phone in my pocket since that happened. Or If I'm out and I have to wear a skirt I just tuck a bag really tight under my arm.

what happened to your daughter is infinitely worse.

.. it's like that syndrome with that woman in the 60's that was screaming for help and nobody did anything? What was her name? Like some people just think, oh someone else will help or something...

I was on my way to work in Bklyn a few weeks ago and I swear to God, this woman was lying in the street and nobody was stopping to help. The only people that stopped were me and a co-worker of mine who was a priest.

and what about that case that was in CT, I think, the woman got run over by a car and was lying in the street and nobody helped?
