So yesterday was my last day of my work week. So I went to the gym & got in a good workout once my work day was done. I was on my way home. I was three blocks from my house on a call with a friend. I was stopped at a red light when a car came out of nowhere & hit me. I never saw it coming. I got push out into the intersection. I got out of my car after hitting the four ways & approached the other car. As I jumped out I felt my back pull. The guy wouldn't even get out of his car. He wanted me to move. I said no chance in hell. I told him to get out of the car since i saw he was still in gear & was trying to get away. I must admit I wanted to yank him through his window & beat him into the pavement. Of course I did not. Since he & his two underage passengers made it evident that they needed to leave then & there I called 911. He tried to leave so I stood in front of his car & gave the car description, licence plate number, & descriptions of all three people to dispatch. I told him go ahead & run the cops know who you are. He got out & told me lets settle this, I got you. He pulled like $40 out of his pocket. I just laughed in his face & told him to back away from me. The police, fire, & ems were very fast to respond. All of them were 100% professional & nice. I saw the cops question him & give a sobriety test after ems said the car reeked of booze. He failed & was promptly taken to jail. His car is in impound & he is in jail. I didn't want to go to the hospital, but my blood pressure was boarder line for a heart attack & I had back pain. So I called my fiance & a friend to get my car home. I spent about five hours in the e.r. X Rays & cat sans all night. They said I'm ok just have some pulled muscles & tendons from the jerking motion. Lucky I had a seat belt on. I am very soar today. I was given two prescriptions. One for percocet & one for hospital strength i.b. profen. I'm not big on narcotics so I'll go today & get the i.b. profin filled. My car is actually ok, I think. Just some chipped paint. I'm extremely soar & angry about all this. But I guess that doesn't help anything. I guess it could have been worse.

Sorry bro, I am glad to hear you did not let the other car leave and get away with a DUI accident. I hope everything heals quickly bro.

That sucks man. I'm glad for you and for him that no one was hurt. Way to stand your ground and get this guy handled.

Glad you aren't badly hurt! I'll bet the other guy didn't have a scratch ... that's the way it seems to work with drunk drivers.

Hope the courts throw the book at the asshole.

Look at it this way... For you its some pain and pain in the ass, but you lived and the fact that he hit you may have kept him from killing someone down the road.

My girlfriend was in a similar accident a long time ago, she was fine and her back just hurt a little. Fast forward 5 years and her back still bothers her everyday, make sure you take care of yourself with this whole thing.

When people try to flee an accident they are usually drunk, or don't have insurance. Hopefully it wasn't both. Best of luck with the physical and monetary damages.
