If the poor woman had been riding a bike, there would have been about a hundred comments by now.

I wish her a full recovery.

Part of it

...might be that the driver stayed and waited for the cops and ambulance to show up. That earns them the Citizen of the Week award these days.

Maybe, maybe not

I suspect that a certain regular commenter's absence explains the lack.

oh my god

I don't know how to say this without sounding crass, but if the car looks like that....

Hard to tell from the photo

(due to small size) but there doesn't appear to be any front end damage to the car, just a shattered windshield. As bad as it was (obviously anything like this is bad), I'm guessing (and hoping) the impact was less severe than the windshield damage implies.
