Assuming that there were no drugs/alcohol involved, the poor schmuck who hit him probably had a mental lapse...we all have made them while driving (admit it). Most of us have been lucky, saved by other defensive drivers or other fortunate circumstances. This driver was not as lucky, and the riders' luck was worse that day. The driver clearly freaked out...he took off and ditched his van about a mile away, and disappeared on foot.dlbcx said:The guy who hit the riders, turned himself in on Friday. Hopefully, the system will prosecute him to the full degree but in reality, he probably get a short sentence with probation.
