It happened about 8:30 or 8:40 PM. That was part of my shock. <br>I have also heard drag racing at 3 or 4AM; that is still not right, but at least then one would not expect many other cars out to worry about hitting.<br><br>

Hi, Elianna!<br>
<br>
I can only imagine your terror... and not much time to think! But you survived!<br>
<br>
What time of night did this happen? Sometimes when I'm in bed at<br>
night I hear what sounds like cars racing down Hope St.<br>
Usually in the distance.<br>
<br>
Yes, good idea to report this to your insurance co. and also get<br>
yourself checked over.<br>
<br>
Thanks for alerting us on the List.<br>
<br>
