My 24 yr old daughter just called crying, because some jerk just sideswiped her and kept going. What a jerk! She's ok and I think the damage isn't too bad.

6:29 am

MollyL

People are such assholes on the road. I'm glad she's okay

6:30 am

ChampFit

She just sent pics. They hit her on the driver's side. That would scare the crap outta me! Probably drunk.

6:30 am

MollyL

He probably doesn't have insurance. Or a license

6:31 am

ChampFit

Agreed! She works in downtown Houston, so that's very likely.
