·Very glad you are ok. Sad the watch is damaged but it could have been much worse.
I understand your state of mind though I had someone plow into me (my car) as I came to a complete stop after backing out of my parking spot. I watched this girl who was looking at her phone drive right into my rear quarter panel took that, a bumper and the lift open hatch to the scrap pile. I had just stopped for coffee and was literally a 1/4 mile from work.
She apologized profusely saying she didn’t see me then started crying as she had no registration or insurance. She said she was probably gonna get arrested. The night before I had put my favorite cat hairy to sleep and I was feeling miserable. I looked at the girl, it was a major brand gas station coffee shop I knew I had plenty of evidence it was her fault but I started thinking how miserable I felt about losing hairy the cat and at the minute I didn’t want to bring misery to this girl so I told her to take off and I’d report it as a hit and run. She was pretty shocked but hugged me and went on her way as I banged out the panel so I could drive to work. I don’t know if she would have hit the guy walking on my passenger side had I not created a buffer but it is possible. Why must people look at their phones in busy parking lots with pedestrians and cars pulling out and in.
Had I not just put hairy down I might have handled it differently and your case being hit as a pedestrian is much more severe. I know a few people who had hips shattered and worse.
The fact the guy that hit you just drove off says a lot about him. If this just happened and you wake up tomorrow with a lot of pain go get checked out. I felt fine the day I got hit while in the car but the next day I could feel it.
