Witnesses? About 20. I got up off of the ground and read his license
out loud to him before all the other folks grabbed me and made me get
back on the ground. A man in a car across the street actually *filmed*
his car as he drove off (talk about lucky for me). When the police
arrived they ran the tag and it matched all of the witness descriptions.
They say that they're looking for him. I don't really know what that
means though.

I'm fine btw. My Bianchi frame is toast, but everything on it is
fine. I'll be riding the train for a few months though as it looks
like my left wrist may need surgery.

Totally sucks; sorry you got hit (and glad it wasn't worse)...

Thanks, Bill. I'm thankful for that and also glad that the witnesses
saw that I was going through a perfectly green light and he (going the
opposite direction) failed to yield to me. I had ridden only one mile
before this happened.

Get a lawyer and sue the **** out of him. If it had been a simple
accident, a "Oh, sh*t, the sun got in my eye, are you OK?!" kind of
thing, then of course not. This man sounds like a ****heel of grand
proportions. An example needs to be set. Hopefully he'll spend some
time in jail. There's the accident, braking the traffic laws, assault,
property damage, leaving the scene of an accident, and even failing to
provide aide if Georgia has "good samaritan" laws.

It's such a cut and dry case, that if it got them some newspaper time,
a lot of young lawyers might do this one pro bono for ya.

Make him hurt.
