Hit and run in Watercolor Publix parking lot

New posts
wow. Did he hit you while you were on your bike, or when you got off your bike? Sounds like you talked to him? How did that happen? Did he start talking then flee?

Sounds like you are a bit busted up, and shaken, but glad to hear that you survived.
 
Tillerjeff, on a happier note, welcome to SoWal. Hope you recover fully and quickly.:welcome
 
thank you so much everyone. this is what happened from start to finish. i was going north on 395. the driver of the truck run the stop sign at regions bank with no lights on. by the time i'm saw him i had no choice but to pass him to avoid hitting him or going into the woods. he then followed me into the publix parking lot. i stopped at the stop line by the front doors and he began to spin his tires. i stepped off the motorcycle and he hit the gas and then hit me with the front of his truck. i then got behind the bike for coverage. he told me i need to respect the locals and learn the "new" rules of south walton. then he started to spin his tires again, he then hit my motorcycle, and me. pinning the bike on top of me. he drove around the parking lot like a mad man then left. his partial tag is C44.

Good Grief!!!!! So he was a "local" that didn't know how to drive. Imagine that! So sorry this happened to you. I am glad that you are ok. I hope they find the jerk and put him under the jail!!!!!
 
i just got back from the police station on 331. they haven't caught the guy yet.... but they are going to regions and publix to pull security camera footage to help in their investigation. the hardest thing that i'm trying to get over now is facing the fact that another human being tried to kill me for try to avoid a situation that he caused.
 
That's really sad that someone would do that. I know I've been tempted to follow someone and explain how to operate that hunk of steel correctly, but I would never intentionally cause someone harm. Especially for passing me.

Hope they find him and will keep my eyes open for the truck. Although he's probably sleeping it off or laying low.
