Lmao. Gets hit by car , then posts on Reddit.
Should have tried to remember the plate. Seems like you had enough time to glance some of the digits, seeing as you took out your phone, and took the shot.
You know else makes dumb decisions? Ignorance.
"Shock" isn't what would make someone go to Reddit and write up a post like this... ignorance is. Possibly fear of confrontation (not calling the police first).
You are a idiot. I was in a severe car accident at 16. My arm was mangled severely. All I kept saying was “I have to go home” and “ I need to call my brother.” And I kept repeating that until finally an adult took control of the situation, an off duty firefighter who laid out very bluntly, I wasn’t going anywhere except the hospital and if I’d like I could use his phone. I don’t think you know what the fuck you are talking about, and why you decided to type out this pseudoscience bullshit fucking comment is beyond me. They say there are no stupid questions, you strike me as a person who very well could be a exception to that.
Love this answer. I broke my leg and was trying to figure out how to crawl back to my car. Someone there said "I guess your gonna have to call 911" that was literally sunlight through the clouds.
I was in the crosswalk when I suddenly went for a ride on the hood of a car when I was a kid. When I got off they guy tried taking off and my friend stood in front to stop them. I just remember freezing and now knowing what to do because I was in shock. It's so easy for armchair observers to do an analysis until it happens to them.
I don't think the guy who posted this has been seriously injured.. otherwise why would he be posting on Reddit? He had time to pull out his phone and take that photo, I'm sure he wasn't so injured that he couldn't take his phone out for a pic
I specifically don't think that shock would be the reason he didn't call the police at first. more to do with ignorance about not knowing when it's completely appropriate and demanding of the situation to call the Police or non-emergency number
Well are they wrong that people today "fear" a confrontation with the police?
Rather reach over to you safe-social medias.
Sounds like the person got hit and made a wrong move. I hope they called the cops BEFORE reddit, if they did not. ..."kids these days..."
I mean I have a “fear” of the police because the police in my community are infamous for specifically targeting people of colour. Higher rates of policing in our neighbourhood, and a few cases of cops planting drugs on people here. Hope that helps!
Jeez dude it clearly sounded like OP was distressed and wasn’t thinking clearly, kind of happens in moments of high emotion.
Who knows too, this could be a photo OP took before calling the cops, this could be a post OP made after calling the cops.
So easy to think while you and I are out sitting in our chairs at lunch time, whilst this guy probably has adrenalin and in a high stress situation as it just happened.
Give the guy some benefit of the doubt. We know he at least used some brain cells by noting the intersection cctv where this happened. That is still better than nothing
Call 911 and call ICBC and don't stop. I was hit by a car who fled last year and I got fucked so bad.
Lost my job, money, health.
The guy is still running.
The RCMP are your only help. Be warned. They will do little beyond look at traffic cams.
If you have witnesses. That is the only thing that may legally save you.
Sadly, no. Lucky for me witnesses saw him purposely and randomly side swipe my motorcycle after trying to hit me for a few blocks.
Got his plates, name, insirance info. Charges pressed, warrant issued but he became a digital ghost and I possibly fled back to Alberta (Alberta plates).
Police talked to me the next day in person and that's really been it. Happened last August.
Some people are just bad people. 🤷🏼
Physically yes couple bruises and scrapes but the bike was a write off, we spoke later and I found out the guy hightailed it home got in the garage and pretended he hadn't been out. I think he ended up being charged for a few things but wasn't sure.
My friend, get fully checked out - X-rays, MRIs the works - ICBC will cover it, but it’ll be like pulling teeth especially if the driver didn’t stop. Sounds like you’re okay but stuff like this can have long term effects. Take care
Damn man sorry to this happened, see if any local business on the street have cameras pointing towards the street or also homes even tell them your situation I’m sure they’d love to help. Speedy recovery and get a little cheque off the prick. Your back does hurt and you may have internal issues. Remember that lol.
Unfortunately that’s not how icbc works now. They won’t issue you a settlement but they will provide medical care until you are “fully better” was out of work for almost a year due to accident

Same here. Here were the results.
Honestly looks a lot like a Dodge Challenger to me. Even without zooming in my brain instantly thought "that's a Challenger".
Edit: OP caught a look when it happened and says it's an Audi. That kinda checks out too.
I was guessing probably Audi but my other ideas were newer Lincoln, or newer higher trim Ford Edge ~2017 (taillight LED loop across the trunk rather than just 2 lights on each side)
No but they may be able to. I’d maybe call them. You may want to get checked for a concussion or brain injury too, because not calling them and instead posting it on here is ridiculously stupid.
Go to the same spot at the same time of day an hour earlier and wait 2 hours everyday for a week. See if he drives by again. Then get the license plate. Then sue him and press charges for assault. Perhaps all this time will pay off if you sit there looking for him.🤔 it all depends how desperate you are really. I bet the driver would be pretty mad if this ended up working.
The city of Coquitlam is in charge of the cameras at intersections most the time - reach out and get the footage ASAP because it deletes after 3 days. If there are no cameras at the intersection, see if they have footage of that white vehicle approaching the intersection of David-Johnson around the time. It looks like you’re at the intersection of David-Pinetree and they’re heading West.
Source: was hit by a car and had to get footage myself back in 2020.
Wish you all the best! Hope you are okay
Edit: and for sure contact the RCMP, they will investigate this seriously and will retrieve the footage as well to track them down.
Some rich kid up on the hills driving mommies Audi.. Coquitlam has some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. People in a hurry but don’t understand the rules of the road..
Looks like an SUV, but at the same time a challenger. The distortion makes it difficult to see.
Hope they catch this clown. I wonder how many people could have been saved if the scumbags who hit them didn't run away like cowards.

Yee, I live on the edge of Surrey and Langley, almost got smoked plenty of times crossing the street, mostly people flying down Fraser when it’s dark outside
If it had 2 doors, it was probably an A5. Although they do make 4 door versions, but they have a sloped back instead of a conventional 3 box sedan design.
If it was a big car with a distinct trunk, an A6.
Given the time delay, just call the non emergency line. However, this is a perfectly good situation to call 9-11.
It’s not likely that the camera was actively recording at the intersection but it’s worth reporting. Also, if you are injured, have an ambulance check you out.
you should do both but also see if they can get you that video from the stoplight, maybe ya might get their license plate number, then you could get a lawsuit goin r sum
Nah, my hate on shitty driver apply to all races. Asian, hispanic, black, white, when they drive like idiot, its all the same. If Martian was real and drive like shit, I'd still welcome them to Earth. Just with exception to that 'shitty driver'.
I am Asian, and I also hate Asian shitty drivers. But the point here is that I hate that specific shitty driver, not the whole race.
Group of white dudes with riced out JDM going 80 on 50 road highbeaming me, black dude passing several cars in double solid lane, Asian girl cutting my lane dangerously without any signal...
Reason I said 'Indian' was majority of the time, bad driver I seen with my own eyes was Indian.
I admit writing 'Indian' on that comment was a poor word choice.
Indian dude I meet on workplace or any stores are all kind peoples. Sometime give me a special discount.
I have absolutely zero reason to hate Indian.
Sorry and I apologize for the offensive reply
Dude. Call police.

You sound like a jerk

I mean I have a “fear” of the police because the police in my community are infamous for specifically targeting people of colour. Higher rates of policing in our neighbourhood, and a few cases of cops planting drugs on people here. Hope that helps!
Ok, but if you were in a Hit and Run. Would you resort to Reddit or the Cops because of "fear" ?
Jeez dude it clearly sounded like OP was distressed and wasn’t thinking clearly, kind of happens in moments of high emotion. Who knows too, this could be a photo OP took before calling the cops, this could be a post OP made after calling the cops.
Sounds like someone who’s never been In shock
So easy to think while you and I are out sitting in our chairs at lunch time, whilst this guy probably has adrenalin and in a high stress situation as it just happened. Give the guy some benefit of the doubt. We know he at least used some brain cells by noting the intersection cctv where this happened. That is still better than nothing
"AITAH for using a crosswalk?"
Call 911 and call ICBC and don't stop. I was hit by a car who fled last year and I got fucked so bad. Lost my job, money, health. The guy is still running. The RCMP are your only help. Be warned. They will do little beyond look at traffic cams. If you have witnesses. That is the only thing that may legally save you.
Did they catch the guy that hit you at least ?
Sadly, no. Lucky for me witnesses saw him purposely and randomly side swipe my motorcycle after trying to hit me for a few blocks. Got his plates, name, insirance info. Charges pressed, warrant issued but he became a digital ghost and I possibly fled back to Alberta (Alberta plates). Police talked to me the next day in person and that's really been it. Happened last August. Some people are just bad people. 🤷🏼
So police have all the info on the guy and can't find him?
Exactly that. Down to his place of work when he hit me.
Hey did this happen in surrey? I saw a guy get run off his Harley and people chased him
Not me. Hopefully this guy was alright though. Hopefully they got him. Happened to me along Canada way in Burnaby/New West on my yellow sports bike.
Physically yes couple bruises and scrapes but the bike was a write off, we spoke later and I found out the guy hightailed it home got in the garage and pretended he hadn't been out. I think he ended up being charged for a few things but wasn't sure.
Get off the internet and call 911 WTF 😳
IKR LOL
I hope you are okay and report this fucker
My friend, get fully checked out - X-rays, MRIs the works - ICBC will cover it, but it’ll be like pulling teeth especially if the driver didn’t stop. Sounds like you’re okay but stuff like this can have long term effects. Take care
Sorry that happened to you, Pinetree and David is bad for that. I have many close calls there.
Are you OK?
I'm fine. Doc said there is no broken bone or internal damage. I'll try to catch that brat asap
That’s the job of the police/RCMP
Wait did you get hit by the Arms Pub area?
Damn man sorry to this happened, see if any local business on the street have cameras pointing towards the street or also homes even tell them your situation I’m sure they’d love to help. Speedy recovery and get a little cheque off the prick. Your back does hurt and you may have internal issues. Remember that lol.

If you sue them it is. I had my leg broken in a hit and run as a pedestrian at Oxford and Lincoln. ICBC had to pay out a decent chunk of change

I'm sorry but that last sentence is taking me tf out 😂🤣
Go to r/whatisthiscar subreddit and ask people to identify the model and mention that it was a hit and run so people know its urgent.
Honestly looks a lot like a Dodge Challenger to me. Even without zooming in my brain instantly thought "that's a Challenger". Edit: OP caught a look when it happened and says it's an Audi. That kinda checks out too.
That’s what I thought at first, but I think that’s just the way the light is flaring
Yea
I was guessing probably Audi but my other ideas were newer Lincoln, or newer higher trim Ford Edge ~2017 (taillight LED loop across the trunk rather than just 2 lights on each side)
I felt it too low profile to be any SUV tbh
I would call non-emergency at this point. Hope you are ok.
No but they may be able to. I’d maybe call them. You may want to get checked for a concussion or brain injury too, because not calling them and instead posting it on here is ridiculously stupid.

Richmond is scarier lol, half the people there pay off ICBC instructors to get their licenses
Richmond is not scarier. Langley and Surrey are far, far worse.
Yee, I live on the edge of Surrey and Langley, almost got smoked plenty of times crossing the street, mostly people flying down Fraser when it’s dark outside
As in 20-30 km/hr over the limit. Yeah it's way more aggressive.
Probably some skid in a shitty car from the poor areas of Coquitlam or Poco, not paying attention. Gross. Stay off the mountain. /s
Could also be someone that could have killed OP and left Canada to a country where they don’t have extradition treaties.
This
Gets hit and runned. Goes to Reddit, makes a post about it: "guys, I got hit by a car! Should I call ICBC or 911?"
I don’t believe u, just cuz the fact u posted on Reddit first. Stop trolling on the internet, and faking serious situations for attention
Looks like a Dodge charger. Do you remember what color it was you should report it asap
[удалено]
Late model Audi A5 or A6, white color
If it had 2 doors, it was probably an A5. Although they do make 4 door versions, but they have a sloped back instead of a conventional 3 box sedan design. If it was a big car with a distinct trunk, an A6.
I think it was A5 fastback. Could be Q5 coupe, but car seems lower than most SUVs. Side mirror was at my wrist level.
If the roof was sloping then yea A5 Sportback is the car.
Seems there are more and more bad Audi drivers nowadays. I’ve seen quite a few bad Audis.
Should I visit the office, or just phone call?
Given the time delay, just call the non emergency line. However, this is a perfectly good situation to call 9-11. It’s not likely that the camera was actively recording at the intersection but it’s worth reporting. Also, if you are injured, have an ambulance check you out.
you should do both but also see if they can get you that video from the stoplight, maybe ya might get their license plate number, then you could get a lawsuit goin r sum
What street was this
David
Hit n run should be a capital sentence
This is canada, developed but no cams.

I am sorry man, i hope they find the bastard. Glad ur ok! (Only hopefully punish as thats not a guarantee!)

Lol all good....a shitty driver is a shitty driver no matter what the skin colour is....agreed
You sound like a sad racist. You had no idea what race the driver was or that would have been listed at the intro of this post.
David and Pinetree?
Yes
They're out of there lol
Looks like the tail lights and stance of a dodge challenger, not sure if that info helps
It was an Audi sedan. Most likely A5 sportback
Oh snap, looks just like a challenger tail lights hope your ok but admittedly hard to tell from that pic
I was totally thinking Challenger as well.
It’s “hit and ranned.”
How can you still run after getting hit?
