“I was involved (along w/ passenger) in a hit and run accident. The driver of the other car turned right. When I saw that the car had successfully turned I accelerated to 45-50 MPH. When I came upon the road, which the car had turned, the other car did a complete u turn and came out onto the main road going the oposite direction. I tried to stop but it was too late. I hit the back passanger door on the driver's side. My car came to a complete hault. When I struck the other car, the air bags did not deploy. Unfortunately, my car was totaled. …”
