Bad driver

On Feb. 29, my husband and I were on our way to Kalispell. We got almost to the railway crossing going into Evergreen when we encountered a man driving an older white pickup going in the same direction as we were.

He was traveling at 85 mph when he got up parallel to us, in the center median of the highway. He pulled directly over, hitting our car on the driver’s side, causing considerable damage to our car.

We suffered no injuries, being a miracle. Two witnesses saw it happen, and the lady behind us stopped to see how we were. After having dialed 911, the Evergreen Fire Department arrived, then a sheriff’s deputy, after a while the Highway Patrol trooper.

The sad story is this pickup driver had no driver’s license and no insurance. The Highway Patrol trooper was anything but polite.

Our car was totaled. The very next day, the pickup was back on the highway to hit someone else. Yes, I’m angry and mad as hell. He got reckless driving.
