Seattle is known for its passive-aggressive drivers and for how polite our drivers can be (see the article at http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/270649_roadrage18.html), but how about those people on cell phones driving SUVs who hit deaf girls in cross-walks and then drive away? Ever heard of those?
My officemate was hit yesterday leaving the office to catch her bus. She was in a crosswalk and had the right of way - the driver's light was red. She was thrown only 5 feet or so and landed on her backpack, sparing her head from the pavement. She's bruised, but working. She didn't go to the doctor or call the police. Unfortunately, the two witnesses did not catch the license plate number. All I can hope for at this point is that the driver gets what is coming to her.
