Hit and run

On Tuesday, January 19th 2016, at approximately 5:20 pm on Gordon, south of Casorso, I was rear ended by a black/dark sedan, possibly a Ford (recovered emblem on scene). The driver was a male, black short hair, I only saw him briefly as I remained in my vehicle. He suggested that I go around the corner onto Casorso as to get out of traffic, I did so. The driver, after a couple minutes came around the corner and sped off, motioning from inside the vehicle as to suggest he'd be right back. 

The driver left the scene and did not return. My vehicle sustained irreparable damage and is a total loss. I am injured and quite upset with this situation as the driver initially came to my vehicle and asked if I was alright. I said no and he just left. 

I am appealing to the public or anyone with information. Someone that may have witnessed the collision, or knows of someone with a similar vehicle that has significant damage to the front, more so on the passenger side as the damage on my vehicle would indicate that is where his vehicle struck mine. 

Basically, a hit and run situation has left me without a vehicle and I would greatly appreciate any help you may be able to offer me in tracking down the driver or vehicle involved. I am hopeful that the young man will actually do the right thing and take responsibility for his actions, or someone in the community hears of this and can help. 

I thank you for your time and appreciate your help in trying to resolve this matter. I am very fortunate and realize it could have been worse. And who knows, maybe someone has a good used car they're looking to sell as well. I am truly blessed, God takes good care of me and hasn't let me down yet.
