The damaged car’s owner, Melissa Rabinovich, an executive editor for NY1, said it had $3,000 in damage: a cracked bumper, a damaged back panel and a cracked left taillight. She filed a police report and called Mr. Schneiderman’s office on Tuesday after tracing the license plate, which a witness had noted.

“He said he was sorry for the bump to my car, and I told him it wasn’t a bump,” Ms. Rabinovich said. “He went on to explain to me that the female who was driving the car was crying and he was sorry. I told him I was crying when I saw the damage.

“I have three children under 7, including a 4-year-old who is severely disabled and doesn’t walk. This minivan is our lifeline of transportation for him.”

In a statement, James Freedland, a spokesman for the senator, disputed the seriousness. “For New York 1 to call this a ‘hit and run’ is nothing short of outrageous,” he said.

He said that Ms. Kagan merely bumped Ms. Rabinovich’s minivan and that the senator had no idea any damage had occurred. “He has spoken with the owner of the other vehicle, expressed his sincere apology and offered to pay for all repairs,” he said.

Oh for goodness sake!

You hit, you left. Hit and run. Get used to it.

And he let her drive? Wonder what caused the tears and why would he casually become a passenger? Somethin' ain't right!
