b*********@yahoo.com Begin forwarded message: From: John Arredondo To: Highway Patrol Santa Fe Springs area Requesting information on driver responsible for damage to my car On December 18, 2015 I was on the 605 fwy south bound on the diamond lane,it was late But clear Afternoon,The fwy was bumper to bumper traffic,it was the time people were getting out of work, as I was getting close to were the two Fwy's meet I believe the 405 and 605 the traffic started Moving faster as I was picking up speed an object was in my path on the diamond lane, without causing an accident with cars to the right of me and a wall to the left I made an effort not to over react I hit the object it went under my car I have a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta and the object damaged my transmission my car had no gears"I managed to get my car off the fwy, I checked the damage fluid was flowing out from my transmission, while I was calling my insurance a city tow truck pulled up behind me saw the damage and informed me it was A drive shaft I hit and the person it belong to was pulled to the side of the Fwy, then shortly after the Highway patrol pulled up " I told the officer what happen then we had to move my car from the off ramp,this was a young officer, the officer informed me That the area was not his patrol " but he was going to start the report until the officer That patrols the area finish with the party that drop the driveshaft, the young officer told me he only been an officer a year and that the other officer being his patrol area that he will be finishing the report after he's done talking with the other driver who was at fault, We waited for at least an hour to an hour and a half I assumed the waiting was because the other officer with ID 16882 was getting the other drivers information? While standing with both officers they told me that the other driver admitted the driveshaft was his it fell from the truck "After giving My information for the report I asked the officer with ID 16882 am I getting a copy of the drivers information that lost the drive shaft? For my insurance so I can get my car repaired The officer told me no" that they were calling it hit and run? I didn't understand ? Both officers in front of me told me The other driver admitted it was his driveshaft told the city transit about It! And why did the officer take so long to arrive at my location? I have a Good driving record not even a parking ticket in the past 30 years I take good care of my car, I'm a disable veteran on low income service related I only have PLPD insurance I can't afford the repairs" I never been in any kind of accident " and wasn't aware that the Highway Patrol can be judge and jury on site?and To make that kind of decision when their was serious damage to my only transportation everyday without my car it's causing me to stress and discomfort with my disability due to no transportation which is causing aggravation with pain by having to walk or stand for long periods, missing doctors appointments getting behind on personnel business "I also manage a house with other veterans my age With only one car" since December I been struggling for my car repair" the officer with ID 16882 I think should of giving me the other drivers information"that's what you do if you have an accident, then it would have been up to are insurance to dispute"now I had to cancel my insurance because they wouldn't give me guidance and no car My name: John Arredondo.
