So i got into a hit and run accident about two months ago. I finally got some courage to post up the pics of the car. Unfortunately the car was totaled. I was on my way home from work, took the exit and as i was making a left turn some idiots run a red and hit me. Their car went off to a distance and three people in that car got out and took off on foot. Surprisingly I was okay.

I put so much time and money behind this car and was so hurt when this happened. Its sad to see something go especially when your really attached to it. My insurance company gave me a good settlement and I decided to save most of the money and buy a Camry. I made a huge downgrade but so far im happy with it.

At the scene of accident:


Car that hit me:

Sorry to see these pics. Most important thing is that you're ok! Did they ever catch these idiots? I totally understand what you mean about the attachment. Camry is a bit surprising, but your choice. You gonna mod that?

No it wasnt stolen. it was registered to the driver they caught. She didnt have any insurance though and the cop told me she was on welfare.

I do not get why she ran if the car was registered to her.... Well I guess she could have said someone else drove it, but there would have been witnessed seeing her run.

Fortunately for me, three witnesses stopped and told the cops what happened. the whole story is pretty crazy. The next day the cop that took the report calls me and tells me everything about her and how they caught them... i was like 'are you sure can tell me all this information?' He even told me where she worked. hahaha

Glad you're alright, a car is still a car, even though it's your baby, you can always work on another one.

Shows you how sturdy Lexus built this car

Thanks... It happened on the Lincoln exit off the 5 south. Closest intersection is Manchester Ave and Lincoln Ave in Anaheim. And the cop said she worked at Wells Fargo finance office on harbor blvd. lol
