Nunez-Guzman: "I was like, steering this way… as I'm like turning, I'm looking this way, and then, when I looked again, I saw a guy come out of nowhere and hit me… and it freaked me out." Accused of leaving the scene, Nunez-Guzman explained what he was thinking. Nunez-Guzman: " You know, I thought everything was going to be a good day today and then that happened.
