Was driving into southside via Alta Street, just came out from under the freeway when I saw a Buffalo headed straight for me, I didn't hear any sirens.
I panicked and slammed on my brakes and turned the wheel to try and swerve out of the way, and then they swerved the same direction as me, colliding with me and launching me into the center bushes, my car smoking badly.
I then heard them accelerate away, shouting "Why the fuck did you swerve into me, get a fucking job!" without checking if me or my car was okay, as if I was nothing to them. I drove somewhere I felt safe, the docks, and took a few minutes to breathe and text my friends, letting them know what had happened to me.
I also called the BCSO directly, and attempted to file a complaint, but the woman who answered the phone was the passenger in the car that had hit and run me, and tried to defend herself sarcastically, saying she was on my side of the road "attempting to stop crime" and that they "had their sirens on" despite me not hearing any, and as if it was a justification for hurting me and damaging my car to the point it exploded, and not only continuing without concern for me, but also insulting me personally, as if I had deliberately attempted to collide with them. I hung up after 3 minutes on the phone as I could feel myself becoming angry and upset with the attitude and weak excuses I was receiving.
When I got back in my heavily damaged car and attempted to drive to a mechanic shop, but my car caught fire and the wheel fell off on Dutch London Street and I had to throw myself out of the car as it careened into a wall and exploded. I called Roadside Assistance, and two of my friends drove past, and got out to console me on the damage to my car. The tow truck arrived, and had to drive me and my car all the way to Seaton Automotives in Sandy Shores to be repaired.
Emotionally, I'm angry, frustrated, and upset at the way I was treated, but also physically, I'm in pain from the coilision and will be filing a medical report as soon as possible to document my injuries. I fear to file a police report for the sake of the harrassing comments and sarcastic treatment I have already received being escalated.
