He slipped out the side exit and left. Luckily a friend of mine I work with was about 8 cars back in traffic. I called him and asked him to tail the guy and get his plate. He was able to catch up to him and write down his plate number. I hope they track him down, the shoe store he turned around in had 2 external CCTV cameras, so if they were running they should easily have his vehicle and plate on the footage. I have to pay $500 out of pocket for my deductible, the car is going into the shop on Monday. The rear bumper cover is punctured in multiple spots, it will likely be replaced. My right rear tail light is no longer centered so something is bent. My right rear quarter panel has some ripples above the wheel/tire. Hopefully it'll just take some PDR work. Be safe out there guys.









Here's an aerial view of where I was sitting in traffic at the red light when the guy blatantly just ran into me.

To be honest, hit and runs suck, but you lucked out. That plastic bumper is easy to pop back out and put back in place. As long as there's no frame damage, you're fine, they'll probably just touch up paint. I was in a smiliar situation, but i cut the guy a break as there was no real damage. Your runner i would definitely hassle though, just for the fact that he ran.
