My new sister-in-law has been hospitalised with a fractured neck after a hit and run while she was out jogging last night. Was found on the side of the road by an old man out with his dog who managed to call my brother on her phone.
Police say because she appears to have been hit from behind and there were no witnesses that they might not be able to trace the vehicle and the cunt will get away with it.
I’m guessing its not like on tv where the local garage gets suspicious fixing up a car with a woman shaped dent in the bonnet and calls in it.
Newly married and a few weeks away from their son’s first birthday and some irresponsible fucker does this to her. Bastard.

Shit! sorry man! Hope she recovers quickly. I'm guessing you've all tried to ring around local garages to say what's happened and flag something?
Also local mobile repair companies.

Fucking hell, that's horrible. You'd have to be the absolute dregs of society to just drive on. Really hope a local garage comes through for you. Definitely worth calling around.

What contemptable cunts there are out there that could do this and just drive off. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery for her.

Shit! No-one with CCTV/Ring cameras nearby or further down the road?

Thanks guys. My brother’s sent some pictures over of the scene and its pretty grim with the amount of blood on the floor where she’s been lying. No skidmarks or signs that the car had tried an emergency stop before or after hitting her.
She’s awake but very banged up, cuts and bruises and road rash all over, stitches where she’d landed on her head, neck in a brace obviously.
She doesn’t have any memory of what happened at all. Very lucky that someone was out for a teatime dog walk and found her.
Not sure there’s any excuse for saying you didn’t see someone at 5:30 in the evening on a straight road. And absolutely no excuse for leaving her there.
Its a semi-rural area so I guess the Police’s best hope is a traffic light or garage or home cctv catching someone speeding away at the right time in the right direction but without knowing what it looked like it’s going to be tough. I hope they don’t give up on looking though.

That's awful. Have to assume it was a drunk driver.

Waiting for a transfer into Cardiff to be assessed for possible surgery by spinal injury specialists.
Sounds like while the initial shock was all the blood that that’s mostly from superficial injuries. Now all the concern is the fractured bone in her neck and related damage to her shoulder. Guessing she must’ve gone over the car or bonnet and landed on the side of head / shoulder given how and where the worst of it is.
Hopefully someone has spent the day with a real telltale heart situation on their driveway and turns themselves in out of guilt in the morning. You don’t hit a fully grown 36 yr old woman and not be aware of what you’ve done.

Latest update from my brother is she’ll be having an operation to stabilise the fracture in her neck tomorrow morning and they’re anticipating 6-8 weeks recovery for her concussion.
There’ll be rehab and she’ll not be permitted to drive for the next six months.
The operation is necessary to avoid the mobility her neck fracture causing any damage to her spinal cord.

Jesus fuck! I've just read your posts in this thread, simple - what an awful thing to happen. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Has it made the local news? A bit of publicity might help to flush out the bastard responsible.

Thanks again guys.
Police are going to do a social media appeal and it’ll be in the local paper but they did say to my brother chances are fairly slim unless they or their friends/family grow a conscience.

Operation sounds like it went well from early opinions.
From what my internet addled brain understands she’s had to have the modern equivalent of the Kurt Angle neck bone fusion surgery.
I’ve been keeping my eyes open for the Police appeal so I can share it myself but it doesn’t seem to have been released yet

Glad to hear the op went well.
It should be worth sharing the police appeal via any local Facebook groups you can find, private and public alike.

She can’t talk at the moment because of the operation but she’s a lot more awake and has been chatting by text with my brother. Apparently it wasn’t for a couple of hours until he realised there’s nothing wrong with her ears so he could sit beside her and speak while she responded by text rather than both sat in silence texting each other side by side.

Lol. I’m with you on the milk. Semi skimmed is fine and whole milk for an occasional treat. Some fat in the diet is absolutely fine and indeed necessary.

Getting a roasting from clients and having to apologise for other peoples fuck ups is the absolute worst thing about project management (or any job I've ever worked to be honest). Bah.
