“The guy that hit me, I don’t know if he was drunk, high or driving a stolen truck,” Malone said. “But he immediately tried to drive off and get away. The problem was his truck was so jacked up and smoking that he wasn’t going anywhere in bumper-to-bumper traffic.”
Malone and Bowen watched the man bolt from his wrecked blue Ford, carrying a small dog like a football in the crook of his arm. Man and dog quickly approached the innocent driver of the vehicle that took the brunt of the bumper-car impact from Malone’s truck and implored a startled stranger: “Hey, buddy. We’ve gotta get out of here. Can you give me a lift?”
Bowen couldn’t believe what happened next. “Next thing I know,” Bowen said, “this guy is running 100 yards down the highway, with a dog under his arm, hops the guardrail and is gone.”“You can’t make this stuff up,” Malone said. Standing on the hardwood of a spacious basketball facility on the University of California-San Diego campus, Malone felt grateful to be here, then pointed at his left leg.Water from ice bags dripped from a knee that required repair after a pickleball injury during the offseason.
