    This was a hit and run. My friend was left unconscious in the street and is still in the hospital with serious injuries. All she remembers is that a black truck pulled out of a parallel parking spot and did a U-turn right in front of her. She remembers braking and that’s it. If anyone knows anything, please step forward. It’s horrible that any human being would do this and not even stop. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
