hit and run

our little town gained some brief, national media attention as a group of well-trained cheerleaders from yspi remembered the license plate number of a hit-and-run accident in ann arbor by making into a cheer. katie couric, true to her cheerleading roots, interviewed the group from lincoln high this morning.

since it seems we have near misses almost daily, i must reiterate how much i love it when cars actually back up when they've gone too far past the stop sign at an intersection. because i wonder if one of us got hit by if the motorist would give the same excuse (um, duh!):

According to police reports, a truck hit a car stopped at a traffic light Wednesday, and the impact forced that car into another vehicle, which then hit another one.

The truck driver, found at his home, told officers he didn't think the damage was severe enough to stop, police Lt. Mike Logghe told The Ann Arbor News.
