What should happen to whom?

[DCBass101]

This occured in Tomball, Texas. My friend Jesse was leaving my house at night but her Jeep was blocked in. We informed my brothers friends who had blocked her to move their vehicles. When one of them was moved, she backed out thinking that she was clear but ended up hitting the front of a pickup truck that she didn't see. The owner of the truck (Ryan) came out and immediately went to see if his truck was alright. Jesse started to cry because she didn't want another ticket for an accident. Ryan, who was very high on some form of drug, looked it over for a couple of minutes and told her she could go home and not to worry about the truck. So she left. Now, two days later, my brother tells me that Ryan needs Jesse's home info and insurance info because if he doesn't get it settled, he will sue her for hit & run. Should she be held responsible because she hit him and left without giving any information or should he be left with the damage because he was too stoned to call the police and told her that she was allowed to leave?

My response:

I have no answers for you, but I really like the name of your town, "Tomball."

Is that close to LarryNuts?

She is liable for the damage to the truck. She should report the accident to her insurance company so they can get hold of the truck owner.

She wont be charged with hit and run or any other crime since the accident happened on private property and Ryan told her she could leave.

Tomball is near Fredsass.
