    On Friday April 13, 2018 I was involved in an accident with a flatbed trucker on I-35 S in Selma, Texas near exit 172. I was not able to get a License Plate number because he had driven off after hitting me, he never pulled over and I don't know if he had reported it with dispatch. My car was totaled and i'm injured. What can I do to find this guy?

    A private investigator may can help.

    On the damage is there any paint rubs that you can tell what colors you are looking for . Just to narrow down the search and do you know what they were carrying?

    Were there any witnesses that stopped to give their contact information? Was a police report made? State or local?

    A "totaled" vehicle crash usually is seen by others. Maybe someone had a dash cam.

    I bought a Mitsubishi Eclipse that a truck had run up and over front pass. side of hood at a corner.
    Truck cut the corner, flattened the car's hood, and just kept going. Tire tracks into the metal hood.
    Recognized the name, and contacted the relative that I knew. She said niece was sitting there
    and it just crushed down the front of her car; she thought she was gonna die.
    Same situation as above, no witnesses, rural road, no passers by. On I-35 should be witnesses,
    another thing is to put an ad in local paper asking if anyone witnessed this accident. Who knows?

    If you are from that area, and can identify the truck - positively - you can "stake-out" that exit,
    at that time, every day; and see if truck passes that way again, but chances are slim to none.

    If anything was recorded it’s probably been written over.
