Living near here and arriving home to see 3 squad cars and the block marked off with crime scene tape, I was a bit concerned.
Seems that the hit and run is not so simple as evidently the person who was hit and injured was inside the truck to start with, and while the truck was described as white, the person was actually not quite sure. With such a weird description, I would guess drugs or prostitution or both are involved.
In likely unrelated neighborhood watching, there is however, a large white truck that appears to be doing construction in the area that drives like a maniac, and has nearly run me over doing California stops at stop signs, not once, but twice, down on 26th.
