“I survived six months in Afghanistan and a year in Iraq, many parachute jumps out of airplanes and other adventures and never broken a bone, and it takes a hit-and-run driver to send me to the hospital with a broken bone.”

Pat Rimron telling a Winston-Salem, North Carolina, TV station about his Friday bike ride that ended when he was struck by a hit & run driver. An Army Reservist, Rimron returned to his job as a teacher at Forsyth Country Day School seven months ago after two tours in the Middle East.

The reporter at WXII-TV reported: “While lying in the middle of Stratford Road, Rimron said the irony was not lost. He suffered his worst injuries on American soil by someone he served to protect.”

Last I checked, no one has come forward. Hit and runs against bicyclists are a huge problem. Doesn't anyone own up for their mistakes anymore?
