This could get repetitive as this happens pretty much weekly in San Antonio. First of all virtually none of the residents of San Antonio can be bothered to use a crosswalk. They just stroll right out into 5 lanes of traffic. Then when someone actually hits them almost every single time the asshole just keeps driving, as if it's just too much of an inconvenience to try to render aid to the person they just mowed down. Actually, the explanation in many of these cases is that the person is hammered and doesn't want to get caught. Anyway, this is a fine San Antonio tradition which This writer doesn't see ending any time soon. Here's the Express News report of this most recent incident for your enjoyment:
Just before midnight Thursday,
Ronald Middleton was crossing the street with a cane in one hand and a stereo in the other when he was hit by a car.
Middleton, 58, was walking back from HEB, according to a police report, and was crossing Lord Road near the intersection of South W.W. White Road when he was hit by the car that did not stop at the scene.
Middleton suffered “serious bodily injuries” and was taken to
University Hospital, where he remained in stable condition Friday afternoon.
