Hit and Run in Minneapolis

[Flur]

I just got an email from the city of Minneapolis. The city has a lot of people's email addresses b/c of the snow removal system and it seems they're putting them to good use today. They are looking for a hit and run driver who killed a man yesterday morning. The driver of a tan vehicle hit the man on his bike who was heading to work at a local country club. The cyclist had cerebral palsy. The city has no idea who the driver was, all they know is that it was a tan vehicle that they believe may have sustained right front damage.

This accident happened within a few miles from my house. I'll be on the lookout for tan cars with impact marks on the right front for next week.

I'm in shock. I can't believe someone would just run down a handicapped man and leave him to die.

I hope they find that idiot. I would not be able to hit a squirrel without stopping (although fortunately I haven't hit one of those either). It's appalling that people are more worried about getting in trouble than about someone else's life.

Hey there Flur... any update on this yet?

[Flur]

Nope. It doesn't look like they've found the guy, or at least the news isn't reporting it. I did find this article that gives a bit more info:

It just makes me angry all over again!
