Wreck victim thanks helpers

I was involved in a hit-and-run accident last Tuesday on 87th Street in Overland Park. I would like to thank all of the kind people who stopped to help and gave witness statements to the police. In this day and age, we often hear only the bad stories, but the many people who stopped, the police and the paramedics were all very kind and conscientious.

A few days after the accident, I learned that four vehicles followed the driver who hit my vehicle and blocked him in so he couldn’t escape. One witness even chased and tackled the driver when he tried to flee on foot!

I wish I knew the names of everyone who helped, but I’d especially like to thank Darla, Sarah, William, Albert, Elizabeth, Dara, Jeffrey and Michael.

I am very thankful that no other vehicles or pedestrians were involved.

Again, thank you to all of the people who assisted. Your concern and help meant more than you can know.

As a reminder, please, please, please don’t drink and drive.
