Hit-and-run driver injures pedestrian
An unidentified man suffered a broken leg while crossing Alma Street at Lytton Avenue in downtown Palo Alto shortly after 3 p.m. today, but the driver sped south on Alma and was believed to turn east on University Avenue.
Police Officer Wayne Benitez said the vehicle was identified as a Toyota Prius. Police have begun a search for the driver, who if found could face felony hit-and-run charges. No other details were immediately available.
The victim lay in the middle of the street for a time while he was treated by paramedics before being transported to Stanford Hospital.
--------------------------------------------
Should I post this on a prius site? They're all a bunch of pricks anyway....maybe it'll be an early birthday present for their fat, caffeinated ego.
Their bottom line may be that they and their pansy ass tin can rules the road, but if it were their daughter, sister, mother, friend hit by a speeding sissy prius they would suffer the epiphany that their tail-chasing cerebrum denies them.
RAAARRRRR!!!!

Biker may have screwed up, but thats just as likely the driver did. Either way the driver left the scene, making him or her the asshat.

IF the Hummer driver ran a stop sign, then the driver is responsible and should pay the consequences.
I find it interesting that if a Hummer is involved in an accident it is somehow news. I’m sure the girl would have been just fine had she been hit by a Toyota Sequoia instead of a Hummer. You’ve got to love a large SUV named after a California tree!
You bikers are even more vulnerable than motorcyclists on the road. I’m not siding with someone that MAY have broken a traffic law, but you have to realize colliding with almost anything on the road (even a Prius) can help you meet Allah and receive your 72 virgins.

Hey a$$hole, maybe If you have posted the facts in your first post. People might not have flamed you so bad, keep up your sh*t and you will find an over caffinated foot in your A$$! Trust me 5 miles is not long trip to prove a point junior.

It made CNN, but the truck wasn't identified as a HUMMER, just SUV. I was suprised.
They also said the driver was swerving towards people before it happened and the truck was going about 40mph.
Prius, HUMMER, at 40 it doesn't really matter.

I hate this excuse that's often made by a-hole car drivers (not you Ratesguy). They whine about bikers "not following the law". However, most states have a LAW that says when you see a biker on the road you need to give him 3 or 4 feer clearance when you pass. No car driver does that, yet they whine about those the "lawbreaker" bikers.

I give them the same amount of room as they give me when they ride beside a line of cars waiting at a red light.

Why is it that the only answer to critisism on this forum is profanity and poorly contrived insults?
I don't get it, if someone doesn't like your Hummer are they automatically a hippy?
Am I a troll too?
Im just here to understand the H2 thing and maybe push a little tech.
