Day laborer hopes hit-run is accident, not racism – New York

Adolfo Reyes recalls walking on a sidewalk in Farmingville Sunday morning. He remembers greeting several other Mexican day laborers.

His memory goes blank at that point. The next thing he remembers is briefly opening his eyes in an ambulance, then in an emergency room. He couldn’t move his right arm or his right leg. Blood was flowing from his side, his elbow, his calf.

Doctors told Reyes, 42, that he flew up in the air, bounced on the roof of a car and landed on the ground when a hit-and-run driver barreled into him on County Road 83. Now Reyes is trying to figure out whether he was the victim of a reckless driver who panicked and left the scene, or if he was the target of a hate crime.”*
