Don’t have info for you but just here to say I hope your wife and child are doing ok.

They are doing well. He had a great Christmas, and the accident will be nothing but a blip in time for him. Thank you for the kind words.

Jfc. Dude, no info but I hope all is well on your end.

All is well. Small inconvenience for us. Hopefully a bigger one for them.

You probably have already thought of this, but are there any businesses/homes that could have cameras in that area?

This seems like the way to go

... go around to all the businesses in the area with external cameras, tell them what happened and ask if they'd be willing to look through their footage.

Make sure you have the date and approximate time that it happened to make looking for said footage easier for all parties

There is a house/apartment on each corner of the intersection. I plan to take look to see if either have cameras. If they do, I will ask if they could provide footage of that time frame.

A little further down there are a few stores that have security cameras, maybe you can contact the manager of the store and explain the situation they will let you look at the recordings. Someone hit me at stop and shop and they let me check.

I agree. I wanted to wait until after the holiday weekend until I start to bother people.

Definitely plan on checking the businesses out.

It's a busy area, I hope you find them. I used to do a lot of Uber pickups in Woonsocket but I had too many close calls especially over by the hospital.

Sorry to hear this, hope you family is ok. Coward is right.

I am happy that your wife and child are ok. If the police are involved, they should be checking the cameras, not you. They can get a warrant for the footage. A business does not have to show you anything, even though you explained why.

I know they do not have to show me anything. It never hurts to ask.

Also, I don’t think a hit and run is at the top of the police department’s list of things to tackle around an already short staffed force. If I can be of any help to them and my family I am going to.

Classic Woonsocket.

Reach out to Swagat Indian Food. Looking at google maps they had, and might still have, a security camera that faces the intersection.

It wouldn’t hurt to just make a police report. It would be pretty quick and could lead to something, you never know. Maybe other people saw them driving recklessly trying to get away after they drove off or or even witnessed the situation with your wife and reported it. Did your wife see who it was?

A police report has been filed, and a detective has been assigned. The department made it clear that due to the holidays processing will be delayed. They LEO who was on scene was very helpful and attentive.

Jesus what a horrible event i hope your wife and child are fine. Prayers to you

I hope your family is okay! Do you have the Nextdoor app? If you don’t it might be worth it to post this on there. Someone in the area might have footage. If not Nextdoor, try the “ring” app. You don’t have to have a ring to post and ask others for footage. Best if luck to you all

Thank you. I will try this too.

Had you post this on the Woonsocket Facebook group?

They can’t read

There is a FB Woonsocket Police/ fire scanner group which is moderated and often deals with these types of issues. People are in general helpful on the page and someone may have been a witness.

Need more details than that, pretty sure she's probably shooken up but anything helps.

Was it a sedan, truck, color, generally newer or older vehicle etc Where they sideswipped, rear ended, tboned What color is your car? Some of your paint will be imprinted into the car.

According to her, it was a dark color SUV. Her SUV is a dark gray. She was driving straight through the intersection, and they decided to take a left hand turn without using a signal. She said she was hit by the front of their car. They made contact with her driver’s side corner (headlight area). After impact she said they backed up and went straight down wood ave (towards landmark hospital) instead of their intended left.

I have not, but I will.

I used to use that intersection to go to work every night. Dude was probably drunk trying to dodge a DUI

Such a bad intersection. People always run that light

Last year on New Years we saw an already totaled Camaro on wood ave slam into a pole and drive off, dude got a DUI and Hit and Run charge because the dummy parked on the street on wood ave. And walked home from there. I grew up in Woonsocket and it’s full of big brain energy
