It all started last night... a summer day in Las Vegas, Nevada, I live here, its not what you might expect. The summer is feirce and the state is rather dirty. The winters are fairly cold as well. A warm day in July and me and my girlfriend of 7 months, whom im deeply in love with go out dancing. Its not unusual for us to go out dancing we do it almost twice a month, although the clubs have seemed rather empty lately, at least the ones we go to. She has to work and gets off at 12:30 A.M. so we decide to meet at her house at 1:20 and the three of us go dancing, her sister wanted to tag along. We arrive at Oracle Mansion a club near the strip of town which always promises to be jam packed. Her sister and I go in first just to get stampped and get it over with while my girlfriend valet's the car. A seemingly normal night right?

I come back out of the club just after going in, this is where things get insane. I exit the club and we're towards the street, its a two way street with a speed limit of about 25-30 MPH. We're hugging and kissing and just talking for a moment. Having a good time like we always do and then... it hapoened. A car barreling down the road in what had to have been at least 45-60 MPH slams right into a young woman who had a thick european accent, maybe czech? Not entirely sure. She was crossing the street and he ran straight into her with zero attempt to hit the brake. I had assumed she was a tourist trying to enjoy a nice vacation in Las Vegas, and our club scene is pretty kick-ass so that would make perfect sense. That just made me feel even worse for the poor girl, who was incredibly strong I might add. My girlfriend and I were the only people who witnessed the event, it happened in almost slow motion and if I had been just a little quicker.... maybe, just maybe... i woild have got the bastards plates. We stood there in disbelief for about 3 seconds as the car smashed into her making her body do a flip. At first, we thought she was forcibly thrown out of the vehicle. This was not the case. It was a hit and run. A tragedy, we didnt know if she was dead as we ran to try to help her. Desperately my girlfriend calling out for help and running into near-by traffic, as much as I loved her want to help I quickly restrained her so she herself did not share the same fate as the cars drove by. We arrive to help the woman, who manages to get herself up, well... so to speak. She managed to lift her head and torso up, as if she were leaning against a wall of some sort. At this point security is there helping us and getting rags to try and stop the bleeding wounds all over her body. Mostly brusies on the upper part but one of her legs... I've never seen such a thing with my own two eyes, the bone was hanging out as shot to the floor, the guard is quick to cover the wound and we ask her if she is okay... I know its a stupid question but we were shocked ourselves. She said a very small sentence, "help me, please." She was pointing over to her possesions which was a purse and some kind of container. I didnt look inside. I handed her the possesions and was suprised how calmly she asked for it. The shock hadn't settled off yet we found out later, as by the time the ambulance arrived she was screaming in pain still possibly unaware that her leg didnt have any bones left. It was one of those things you see in movies... seeing it with my own eyes was a lot more of a burden to bear. I continaully see it playing over in my head. I wanted to do more, i wanted to help, and still somehow my biggest concern was my Girlfriend seeing it. I didnt want her to be exposed to those sites so I took her off to the side so she didnt have to bear witness to the pool of blood and bone. We were waiting for the police arrived to tell them exactly what we saw, but they arrived fairly late and we had a club manager who I firmly believe wqs more interested in getting the ambulances off his property and going back to business, asking us for a phone number and to jusg enter into the club and he'd call us when the police arrived. He never called.

Needless to say when we got inside after not getting a call for 2 hours we got drunk. We both felt terrible we couldnt help more but I'm hoping the camera got enough footage. It was a tragedy thst truly made me sick. How could he SPEED UP!? After hitting her? What kind of twisted thing is that. He will never forget what he did, or she, whoever was driving that black car with tinted windows. They will always wonder if that woman is alive or dead, in the back of their brain. It will haunt them forever. They should of stopped... but that was not the case. Part of me still feels like it was almost done.... on purpose. It was just a tragedy. Thankfully shes alright, but I will never forget what I saw last night. I will definitely not be speeding any time soon as well. I'm happy that the girl made it with her life. She is very lucky in that sense. Still, I hope the driver is found but it just seems so unlikely... I dont not feel Justice was done this time...

Sorry for errors its my first blog and its written on my mobile phone. I just wanted to share.

Wow. Before the last few sentences I was almost convinced that the girl would be dead now.
I witnessed quite a some accidents, at least 3 I can think of now atm, but just one involved a guy getting hit and get tossed into the air. All of them looked worse than turned out to be. But I've been in a state of shock for several seconds every time.
Also when I was a child or maybe teenager, we (my family) drove by what I now think was the scene of deadly accident involving a motocycle driver, who was just covered with a plane by some medics at the very second be drove by. I didn't fully understand what was going on at that time. In all cases, it took me quite some time to get over it.
But what you've seen is still different, but I think there was nothing you could do betterto help her. So police didn't interview you until now? If so, you should consider going to police and tell what you've seen; even if it might not seem much to you, you never know what might be important in the end. And I think it might help you as well.

Well it was either a drunk/druggie (so out of it they didn't realize) or a hit on the woman if the driver didn't stop, could have even been a person asleep at the wheel or texting on the phone actually. You should research PTSD if this keeps bothering you and then seek help if you feel you need it.

It's surprising that the car still worked after hitting, you would imagine that a large amount of damage would be there even if it was working still so people will see it. Hopefully the person will turn themself in or someone else will report it. I wonder if the person even made it home, maybe they crashed somewhere else.

Its been 2 days now, its not really bother me as much. Still didn't like the situation but my mind is not troubled. Had she died, seeing that would be even worse. I was worried about my girlfriend but she assures me she will be fine. So all is well for what we saw. I feel terrible about the incident of course, but these things happen, i just never saw anything like it

I admit i checked the news to see if it would be featured, maybe to soon. I was hoping the driver in question would turn himself in or tell someone what he did who would then turn him in. We'll see what happens but its doubtful i hesr more from the situation, but i can find peace in knowing that shes alive and on the road to recovery. It'll take a while but at least she will walk again. Not for a while though.
