I accidentally killed someone and got away with it.

It was 3 years ago, I was 19. I'm 22 now. I'm an oldest, I have a little brother and I was given a car that was bought for me, so my parents can focus on getting my brother a car when he's old enough, because they can't afford to finance more than one at a time. <br><br>I was driving home late at night (4-5 am), it was pouring rain. I was going around 30-40ish km/h, because I was focusing on the road ahead of me, it was dark because my small town was plagued with broken streetlights. I was coming out of a curve, and the person in front of me cut me off. It was an old pickup truck. She drove into a small parking lot. I was too close and wasn't able to stop in time, so I slammed on the breaks. By the time I snapped out of it, it was too late. I'd hit the truck. I panicked, I remember feeling extremely nauseous. She gets out of the truck, and was focusing on the damage, I think focusing on the damage helped me come to my senses, and I got out of the car. I was in a daze the whole time, and I remember that first phrase she said scared me, it was something like, "You little fucking bitch, why did you hit me?!" I apologised, but she was more angry at the fact that she was focusing on the damage. The damage to my car was much worse than the truck, but she had a plastic bumper, and my car was focusing more on the metal frame. It was a pretty bad hit, and I was in shock. I apologised, and she just said, "Come to my house and tell your dad to call me, I'll get his insurance information." I was like, "Yeah, no problem!" I didn't even ask for her insurance information. I didn't think to do that because I was in shock and I was more worried about my dad's reaction than getting her insurance information. I didn't think I was at fault. I got home, and told my parents. My dad was angry, but not at me. He said that I had to tell the cops and get the woman's insurance information. By this time I realised my mistake. I didn't think to get it, and I didn't even think to get her licence plate number. I told the police the direction she was headed in. They never found her. <br><br>I felt terrible, I was in shock for a while. I had nightmares about the accident, and the fact that I'd gotten away with it. I just felt like I was in a dream-like state, and I wasn't actually going through it. I did miss work for a little while, but I got back into it eventually. <br><br>I felt guilty, until eventually I got over it. I wasn't at fault. It was her mistake. <br><br>I still laugh at how poorly I handled the situation. <br><br>Edit: I'm going to reply to some of the comments. <br><br>To the people saying I was at fault because of being behind the vehicle, it was pouring and I was focusing on the road. I'm not going to suggest that I could've predicted it, but I wasn't texting and driving. I was focusing on the road. <br><br>I'm not going to comment on any other comments, because that's all that needs to be addressed.<br><br>To clarify, I stopped drinking. I still have PTSD and nightmares about the accident, but I've been trying to get better. <br><br>I'm also planning on talking to a therapist, but I'm waiting on appointments.
