    “hit” probably really means…“the lady was talking the sun comfortably on a beach towel when suddenly a big ass truck drove her over, squirting her insides out” but sure, hit sounds accurate. Hit sounds like she was totally visible and happened to reverse bump against the truck. A total accident. Running her over sounds more accurate if that is really what actually happened.

      Yeah, my job sometimes requires me to drive round areas where people may be sunbathing. What I do is drive in first gear even if it is frustrating and be observant because I don’t want to hit anyone. Seems like this ought to be common sense when you’re driving and humans may be lying on the ground.

    I still haven’t figured out why they didn’t get the cop that drove over her, to drive off of her. Why were people trying to lift the truck?

      It sounds like she was laying down and the truck parked on her. Really makes you wonder why a truck is allowed on a beach.

        Understood from reading, but he should have seen something from a distance. Did he forget? Not care? Was looking at something else? Hard agree with no trucks on the beach. An ATV or some sort is sufficient.
