    One of those big fucking trucks with poor visibility. Driven with over confidence.

    “hit” probably really means…“the lady was talking the sun comfortably on a beach towel when suddenly a big ass truck drove her over, squirting her insides out” but sure, hit sounds accurate. Hit sounds like she was totally visible and happened to reverse bump against the truck. A total accident. Running her over sounds more accurate if that is really what actually happened.

      Yeah, my job sometimes requires me to drive round areas where people may be sunbathing. What I do is drive in first gear even if it is frustrating and be observant because I don’t want to hit anyone. Seems like this ought to be common sense when you’re driving and humans may be lying on the ground.

        Yeah but you’re a person who sees other people as human and values their lives and well-being, not a cop.

    I still haven’t figured out why they didn’t get the cop that drove over her, to drive off of her. Why were people trying to lift the truck?
