hey all, thanks for the responses. i figured now that i'm a little more with it i'd post exactly what happened.

i was heading south down lincoln, making a turn south on halsted. the light had just turned green for me. there was a lot of traffic because i believe there was some street festival or some foolishness going on. there was a line of folks lined up to make that left hand turn onto fullerton, from when the light was green on halsted. traffic was pretty jammed up on fullerton.

you know how in chicago, being that we have few left hand turn signals, everyone just gets way out into the street and waits until its a red light...then they go.

thats what happened. but traffic on lincoln had alread started moving while cars were still waiting to make a left. i went through the intersection and at the same time some SUV drive gunned it onto fullerton, right where i was. i think i remember it being a blonde woman driver. she hit square on the entire left side.

i was told i bounced off the hood, denting it, then flipped on my back onto the street. my bike landed about twenty feet away from me. i didn't get knocked out and the first thing i kept asking everyone is, "did someone get the driver's info." by both a couple pedestrians and the EMT that apparently saw the whole thing happen, i was told they had. finally when the police report was handed to me at five in the morning it said there was no vehicle ID. so if anyone's got anything to help me out here, it'd be really appreciated.

i'm a little hopped up pain meds so if this is illegible i apologize. the folks down at cook county (now stronger) pulled my shoulder out and jammed it back in yesterday. ride carefully everyone...thanks again.
