Why hit & run?

five yrs of marriage never having the money to go 100 miles away from home then we have 3 kids and get to go from marmaduke ar to maunie il, mt. vernon il, and to bloomington il for time away from any and all things around 1000 of that we drove on our journy in every town we went thru and just ped thru we all had a blast. our family vacation was great until we got ready to leave bloomington il and going thru a green light. out of the corner of my eye a green ford ranger comes thru the red light if i hadnt seen him and punch the gas i may not have my daughter today 5 minutes b4 the wreck we had move my son to the middle of the van we might of lost him. WHY WHEN ONE HITS ANOTHER CAR THE Y CANT FACE THE MUSIC NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE CAR WITH THEM DRUGS TO WARRENTS . HE COULD OF KILLED MY KIDS AND I WOULD NEVER NO WHO HAVE DONE IT IF I WAS IN HIS SHOES I WOULD BE SO STRESSED OUT NEVER KNOWING THE DAMAGE THAT I HAD LEFT BEHIND AT THE SCENE PHYSICALLY TO EMOITNALLY HURT.
