This happened to my wife near the Hinsdale oasis while she was driving northbound to work on Friday Jan 9th about 7am. She could not get his plate and only knows it was a blue car, thats it.

She was pushed into the right lane and nearly into a semi who had to maneuver to avoid crushing her. Fortunately wifey is ok, just thankful she did not lose control of the car after getting hit while traveling at about 60mph.

The car will be fixed by insurance, will need a new driver door and some paint here and there. I'm sure will look good as new. As grateful as I am that this did not turn out worse, I'm still bothered that we could not get the :censor: that hit her.

I know chances are probably nil, but if anybody may have been in the area at the time and witnessed this, I sure would appreciate any information you might have. Thanks and please be safe. Lot of a_holes driving around out there.

Wow man! In broad daylight with plenty of traffic! That takes some serious balls.. Glad to hear she was able to keep it under control and walked away untouched.

Glad she is okay. I just recently had a similar mishap. Still fighting with insurance. Hope yours goes smoother than mine is.

time to get a dash cam! Saved me a few times and even caught a guy trying to break in while it was parked. I'm thankful your wife and car are safe and in good health!

Glad to hear your wife is OK, albeit shaken up I'm sure. Police will or should get in touch with local body shops to be on the look out for blue cars with side swipe type damage that might be rolling in in the near future. Hope they catch who ever did it. :)

That suuuucks! Glad to hear that your wife was ok. It's unfortunate about your MM getting banged up. I hope everything works out for you.

Check with the State DOT most have pole mounted cam to check on traffic and just might have caught this on film?

Glad Wife is OK, good luck with re-pairs.
