Sounds like a minor accident since the victim's car was still operable and the victim able to drive; so why did she run? Could this be just another gift from our neighbor to the south; you know, another one of those wonderful people who just want to work and do jobs that us lazy worthless Americans won't do? Will this person be checked to see if she is in the country legally?

Now see, somebody will call this racist because you are only picking on her because of her name. Forget the fact that she committed a criminal act by leaving the scene of an accident. And a peace officer would wonder why she did that, drunk, driving on a suspended license, or in the States illegally? But again, it would be racist to think that, wouldn't it? (Can you hear the sarcasm?)
