Shocking surveillance video captures hit-and-run in North Carolina

Security cameras at a local pawn shop captured a truly brutal hit and run in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The tape shows Shaun Lewis crossing the street in the early morning hours on October 6. As he gets into the middle of the street, car headlights can be seen. Then, before Lewis can do anything, the vehicle slams into him, launching him violently into the air.
The driver stops the car and gets out upon realizing what has happened, but promptly returns and drives off in appalling fashion.
"I remember running across the street and as I get half way I remember seeing some lights coming," Lewis told WSOC. "I figured he would go around me...I didn't have time to stop, jump or get out the way."
Lewis said he didn't even remember getting hit. He was somehow able to walk home and call the authorities after coming to. He'll have to walk with a cane as a result of the collision and is temporarily out of work, according to WSOC.
Police are currently looking for the driver.
"I don't want to see him locked up, but I want him to pay for him leaving the scene," Lewis said. "He shouldn't have left like that."

That is straight crazy! The police need to contact the local body shops because odds are they are going to take their car in for collision repair and lie about how it was damaged. I worked in a body shop and it happens more often then people think. The driver will probably lie and say they hit a deer so they can claim it on their insurance but what they don't realize is deer hits always leave behind some fur and often times hoof prints.
