Another Lawrence incident....
I saw a video posted on the Fox 25 news site about a "reported" hit and run accident in Lawrence.
Now Hit and Run accidents are serious business, because it can ruin someone's life.
With that being said, the video I saw was someone's failed attempt to probably extort some money from an unknowing driver.
If you see the video, keep these points in mind and see if you don't come to a similar conclusion...
1) First of all, why does the video camera just "happen" to be pointed at the exact spot where the incident took place?
2) The child used in this ploy appears to be "waiting" for the right time or signal to run in front of the approaching vehicle.
3) the kids across the street from the kid look like they are giving her the "go" sign when the vehicle gets near.
4) The people's (ie. "witnesses") reaction isn't of distraught or shock at seeing an accident, but shame that their ploy failed to work.
Call me cynical, but this smells of extortion or insurance fraud.
I should mention that you can't actually see the vehicle hit the child, because the parked car that she ran behind blocked that critical view from the camera.
Oh well, I guess they'll have to try again with someone else.
