In the blink of an eye, a traffic accident can change your life. In the case of a hit-and-run, it can leave some people devastated.
A good samaritan shot this video after Burfict-Francois was knocked off her three-wheel bicycle by a hit-and-run driver in June. Her bike landed on top of her. "You've hit some someone and you make that split second decision to run because, you know, when we're in, when we encounter a really scary situation, our first instinct is to run away from it," said Divya Sangameshwar with LendingTree.
