A car, with a father and daughter inside, was hit from behind, left the road and ended up on its side in a ditch. The father and daughter were treated for non-life threatening injuries.The vehicle that hit the car sustained extensive damage but the driver continued on. But a driver that witnessed the collision, followed the suspect vehicle for about 10 kms before it pulled over and went into the ditch.
