This holiday weekend marks two years since my wonderful boy, Gavin ( The Good Samaritan )was killed by a hit and run driver, while helping an accident victim. Had the original accident victim not been DUI and possibly the one that hit him as well, Gavin would still be here. So please enjoy your holiday, but don't drink and drive. I hope he can see this from heaven 292 45 J. C. Lakewood 2w+ · Verified in 2019 several years it happened to me. Lawn service with trailer. He pulled off and was going to supposedly going to call police. He took off very fast so it was a hit and run on San Jose Blvd 2 D. B. Lakewood 2w+ · Verified in 2016 As I was driving westbound on University tonight, I stopped at the light at St Augustine and was rear-ended. I got out and talked to the other driver who said he'd pull into the parking lot. Better than being in the middle of University Blvd, right? Well, I pull forward, he starts to turn, hits the gas, flips me off, and speeds north on St Augustine Rd. The damage is minimal and no one was hurt, but fleeing the scene like that is wrong. So, I'm looking for a white pickup truck, I think it's a Dodge but I'm not certain. There's a bright green landscape trailer behind it. The driver is a white man, bit of a southern accent, probably in his forties if I had to guess. So, if you see or have seen a truck and trailer like that anywhere near here, I'd love to know. 75 87 L. A. Lakewood 2w+ · Verified in 2023 We have a repeat offender in our area who had used several names and just resurfaced. They post complaints, racist or rage bait posts. A few were reported and when I went back to check last night I received this message that the author is inactive. It’s still showing this morning. I hadn’t seen it before and neither had others in our area. Is this new? Is ND telling us accounts are not active now?
