Houston ABC News — FAMILY OF 3-YEAR-OLD HURT IN UBER CRASH TRYING 'TO HAVE FAITH' DESPITE DRIVERS NOT CHARGED IN CASE

“Evelyn Medina and her parents had gone to a flea market on Airline, in Houston's northside, to do some shopping. At about 7:45 p.m., the family called an Uber for a ride home.

“A light-colored van picked up the family, turned from Airline to Gulf Bank, and drove toward the North Freeway. That's when a white F-350 truck rear-ended the Uber, but it didn't stop.”

Yeah, the driver should have tried to grab a description and 1st part of license plate and left it at that.

The mania to punish

The mania to squelch someone down hard.

And interesting, the article points out that the family is disappointed and confused that neither driver has yet been charged. Clearly, the Uber driver can be charged with something like reckless endangerment and probably will be. But this can become a mania to punish, too.

Instead of finding and supporting good existing charities. As well as writing thoughtful material online to improve the overall U.S. healthcare system. This kind of stuff is likely to give us a better return on our efforts.
 
I didn't get how the girl was injured but these details explains it more:

Much to the Medinas' horror, their Uber followed the truck. In a new surveillance video obtained by ABC13, the F-350 and the van were seen driving fast down Gulf Bank. Minutes later, along the North Freeway service road, the truck made a U-turn under I-45 to drive off, while the Uber crashed out into a traffic control box. That's when Evelyn was critically injured.

The 3 year-old girl, who looks so adorable by the way, is now possibly paralyzed from the neck down. Both the Uber driver that thought he was in a Lethal Weapon movie and the hit-and-run driver should be charged.
