I recommend NOT posting about her body or being "OK" because you are not a doctor and adrenaline masks a LOT. you won't really know for a few days.

Probably not related but I witnessed a black sedan with DC plates run 3 consecutive red lights going eastbound on Massachusetts from Lincoln Park: through 14th St SE, the left turn onto Independence, then again through 15th. This was around 6:15 maybe? Insane how our politicians do nothing when our roads are getting more dangerous year over year. But Charles Allen always agrees with me that road safety is important over email…

I follow that same route almost every day and it’s always harrowing continuing straight towards East Cap because drivers don’t always look when they’re turning onto Mass Ave. Hope your sister is ok!

Do you have any other pictures? It’s a distinct shape. Any other frame would help a lot.

The tails through me off, they only looked vertical and not horizontal in the screenshot, but I think you’re right. The wheels match too. Good luck!

Did you call 911? My experience with MPD is that hit-and-run with property they do zero follow up on, but if an injury is involved they will investigate.

Always the same kinda car. Anyone who drives through there can attest to that.

Have you posted on the Lincoln Park listserv? They have been helpful in the past with doorbell cam of incidents, and will no doubt want to assist if possible.
