The damage to Kimberly Cisson's car

Did you see this accident?

The Herald got an email from Kimberly Cisson regarding a traffic accident she was involved in. She requested that we post this online to potentially find any witnesses to the incident. Here's her story.

At about 8:15am on Wednesday, July 21 I was on the on-ramp of the 1st Ave Bridge going north from W Marginal Way S in a red Nissan Sentra. I was in the left hand lane that becomes the exit only lane onto S. Michigan. It was bumper to bumper traffic.

A SUV was merging in front of me from the right lane (which has a sign saying the lane ends) there was a blue Honda CRX (WA License plate - 152 VJW) behind the SUV that was tailgating the SUV and moving into the lane where I was. There was not a space for him in my lane. He began scraping up against my car. At this point I stopped and he went ahead.

He continued moving in the lane. When I realized that he was not stopping I started moving up and honked at him to get his attention since he was leaving the scene of an accident. A large truck moved in between us. As I was writing down his license plate number I lost sight of him in front of the truck. He was no longer there. I pulled into the US Bank parking lot on S. Michigan and 4th and dialed 911.

I made a basic report of the hit-and-run. I spoke to a State Trooper that called me later and gave a full report. When I next spoke to the State Trooper he said that the man in the car claimed I had hit him and that he had stopped as well.

I found out later he claimed he was at that same location. At this point the Trooper says it is just my word against his since there are not any witnesses. I am just asking that anyone that saw the incident to PLEASE call police immediately before the case is closed.

Ms. Cisson, I'm sorry to

Ms. Cisson,

I'm sorry to hear about your accident. However, perhaps if you had let the person merge instead of insisting on a 1-car-only merge, then you wouldn't be wasting your time, money, and energy on this now. I understand that people should obey the rules of the road and that people who try to merge 2 cars at a time are quit rude, but if you just realize and accept that there are rude people in this world and they are not worth the stress, you'd probably lead a happier life.

I hate rude drives too, but they're not worth the stress.
