What people are saying
Yesterday, leaving DOT at three in the afternoon, a car hit me. I was crossing Deheza and, almost at the opposite curb, an Audi came along Melián, turned and hit me.
He never braked, I don’t know if he was on his phone or looking the other way. But he never braked and hit me. He threw me through the air.
The man stayed, called SAME, called 911. Then the police came, SAME.
