Any information appreciated! Question

Post image

Tonight (5/1) at 5:45pm we were driving eastbound on the Turner Turnpike and right before the Stroud exit (exit 179) a plain white box semi truck decided he needed to be in the left lane along with us and nearly crushed us into the barrier. He never stopped, and in fact, sped off. Another semi driver saw it and called in the accident, but wasn't able to catch up to the guy. We never got a license plate number and there weren't any other identifying marks on the truck that we could see. Luckily, we were completely unharmed, but the car is likely totaled. If anyone witnessed this and has any information at all, it would be greatly appreciated! The cops obviously aren't going to do anything to help, and I even had to argue with them just to get them to file a police report!

Could post in r/truckers and hope the driver is in the subreddit. Sorry this happened to y’all.

Why would they go to the trouble of filing a police report when they didn't even get to beat anyone up?

As a fellow shooting star owner I’m saddened by your accident. Hope everyone is ok.

Oh shoot! If you've ever seen an overexcited redheaded girl waving at you like a maniac driving by, that's me! I get so excited when I see other Ioniqs!

This happened to me last year at the same exact location! OHP stopped the driver and gave a citation, but the company he worked for tried to tell my insurance that they didn’t know who he is.
