Left work around 7:30 PM, merged onto 405 S, and was promptly rear-ended by a pickup truck. The truck driver fled the scene.
The impact drove my Miata into the car in front of me (a brand new Nissan). I saw the whole thing from my rear-view mirror but was powerless to get out of the way. The California Highway Patrol came and took our statements. Although there were plenty of people around, no witnesses came forward. I was only able to tell the cops that it was a dark pickup truck that hit me.
The silver lining was that my trusty Street Guardian SG9663DCPRO front/rear dashcam recorded the whole thing!
Although the footage was dark, we were able to make out the license plate and give it to the CHP and insurance company. As a cathartic, I put together a video of the accident and how we analyzed the footage.
Thankfully, no one was hurt. I’m crossing my fingers that the CHP follows through and catch the guy. A little karma would be a small victory!
