To the lady that was hit and run on 635
Posted by Deep_Mechanic_@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 118 comments
I watched it happen and have included pictures of the white Chevy truck/trailer that hit you and the lifted Dodge that was his buddy, the Dodge raced off when he knew you and I were following. I can pull dash cam footage if it helps. I tried flagging the white truck down but he knew what he did and eventually stopped on the highway so he could get away from me

That is shitty that happened, but hopefully this helps find them and take care of repairs! Maybe even have them rethink doing this in the future

Great citizen post. In a world of loose cameras, we need more pitching in to make it clear that the world is watching. And recording.
Worried_Pain_1962@reddit
That’s great investigative work. We need more people to come forward with crimes like this.
Old_Character_1040@reddit
W YOU!!! please tell me you found this person?

creedthoughts16@reddit
I am so glad you got footage and found the person they hit! I was hit by a douche in a big truck while I was sitting at a red light and because I had no proof, insurance made me pay. I have a dash cam in the front and back now. Screw those people, so frustrating
lloprete@reddit
I had experienced something similar, witnessing a hit and run, and also managed to capture the license place of the perpetrator. At the time, I called NTTA via (214) 224-2203 and informed the incident, location and time and that I had captured the details. Eventually the state trooper working on the case with the affected victim called me and I shared evidences with him and told him what I’ve seen.
Mendozaj7@reddit
A buddy of mine had his car scrapped by someone else. They told him once he leaves the “scene” there is nothing the cops can do 🤷♂️
It_wasAll-aDream@reddit
Thank you for posting. Everyone that witnesses the same kind of thing should blast them here too!
jtexphoto@reddit
OP you are a gem.
I_Like_To_Swing@reddit
I was caught in a hit and run by a white race 4. I tried going to the police and told them every single detail except for the fact I didn’t see the license plate in time. God bless you for looking out for others that were caught in this unfortunate scenario
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
UPDATE: Dash cam footage has been acquired. Caught in 4K!
DrFatz@reddit
Please share the dash cam footage. That picture showing a license plate will help but a video will help much more.
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
Will do. They both cut off the lady where the express lane ends and merges onto 635. During this her front right got hit. The trailer is still registered to the trailer company on the company sticker on the back of the trailer
358-252M
RemarkableStudent196@reddit
The footage will help the police and insurance companies speed the claim along too so the victim won’t have to wait around forever to get paid
DrFatz@reddit
Oh damn. You may want to share the footage with the trailer company if it's legible. That'll put these dipshits in very hot water.
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
I'll definitely be in contact with them tomorrow. If it was sold they would have put paper plates on the trailer so it's for sure still the companies trailer
elchanan9@reddit
Texas pride is a trailer manufacturer down in Madisonville.
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
Yep I'm calling them first thing tomorrow. I really hope it's one of their employees, if not they should be able to pass the info to the cops, if they actually care
TexasDonkeyShow@reddit
Texas Pride is the company that manufactured the trailer. It is highly, highly unlikely that the driver is an employee of Texas Pride Trailers.
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
The license plate is registered to Texas pride. If they sold the trailer they would have removed that license plate, same as if you buy a used car from a dealership, you don't get to keep the license plate. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that
Psychonaut_Cmdr@reddit
It could have been a rental vs sale. A lot of trailer companies do both.
deja-roo@reddit
Just as good.
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
Then hopefully the cops can pull records and catch his ass
Psychonaut_Cmdr@reddit
Agreed man! Hopefully
TexasDonkeyShow@reddit
I guess I’m curious how you would know that. My license plate is not registered to GMC.
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
You can look up license plates and who they are registered to. I did this when someone stole a package off my front porch
TexasDonkeyShow@reddit
And you looked up who this license plate was registered to?
Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
Yes
TexasDonkeyShow@reddit
Wild. I see about two hundred of these trailers every day. What are the odds that this particular old, busted-ass trailer is still somehow registered to the manufacturer? Huh.
Terrible_Shake_4948@reddit
Simple check online if you pay the right service also if OP works for a dealer or has a friend at a dealership you just put it into the data base and it gives ALL customer info…. It’s called running a Twix
TexasDonkeyShow@reddit
I’m not in any position to disagree with OP. I just find it to be a wild coincidence that the trailer involved in this accident is actually registered to the trailer manufacturer.
Terrible_Shake_4948@reddit
I feel you. I didn’t think you were just providing insight on how easy it is to get records
Terrible_Shake_4948@reddit
You can subscribe to spoken for cheap to get free record searches
Terrible_Shake_4948@reddit
Agreed and if they make trailers the trailers don’t get plates until a buyer registers it
c2seedy@reddit
It’s probably a rental
sem1_4ut0mat1c@reddit
You're doing God's work out here man
Late_Hunt4697@reddit
Fantastic! I hope they get what’s coming to them, a$$…$!

Deep_Mechanic_@reddit (OP)
Bro raced off when he saw people were onto them. Spineless douche
FreeChickenDinner@reddit
Good job. The truck drive or their associates might be reading this thread. Don't reveal too much here.
Inner-Quail90@reddit
Almost like their plate doesn't mean anything 😂
