Apparently more than 4 for this lady:
http://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/local/crime/article35983284.html

-purposely steps into oncoming traffic for the 1st and 2nd shots

-then lays down in traffic for the 3rd shot

- then gets up and walks across the median to get nailed by one more going the opposite way

And 2 of the 4 cars didn't even stop.

I'm glad that she didn't try that in Seattle.

I run every day so I am along the shoulders of roads a lot. Twice in the past year I have had cars making right turns hit me. I bounce off the hood. In both cases the drivers just keep going. No stop, no look, just drive on. Are we so self-centered and insulated in our cars that we don't even notice anything outside the bubble? Two people hit her and just kept on going?

Had one on a snowy day. This kid was driving towards me and edged onto the shoulder. Probably to scare me. He succeeded as his car went into the ditch and was bearing down on me. I dove into the brush and he missed me. Continuing on my run, I later saw the car being towed. Sometimes, occasionally, Karma bites back.

Exactly. Think of how many Prius's she would have totaled....only to get plowed over by a Subaru, complete with a Hillary For President 2016, Rainbow and "Dog is my Copilot" bumper sticker.

'Traffic was already a mess in Seattle today because of the visit by the Chinese President. All we needed down here was some nutjob trying to get offed (or chased by their shadow) in the middle of I-5. Again.

I'm not surprised in the least that 2 of 4 didn't stop. This is modern America and nobody can be bothered with such trivial things. Rather, I'm more surprised nobody tried to set the new high score.
