The idea of run over is usually used to refer to a car accident that involves hitting someone.
Atropello is the act and result of being run over or run over . This verb , for its part, refers to pushing or hitting someone or something; act without respect; or perform an action in a hasty and irresponsible manner.
For example: “Investigators are looking for witnesses to the accident of a child on Central Avenue,” “The government's decision to fire some journalists from state media is an attack on freedom of expression,” “This is a run over! They cannot penalize me for non-payment of an invoice that was never sent to me…”
Hit and run can be used to name the event that occurs when a vehicle hits a pedestrian (that is, when it runs over them). If a motorist driving at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour crosses a red light and attacks a woman who was trying to cross the street, the pedestrian is the victim of the hit.
The hit or car accident
It is important to note that in everyday speech and even in the press the use of the term hit and run to refer to this type of situation is not so common, but rather we opt for car accident , providing more information below to explain what the damage is. that a person or an animal suffered as a result of being hit by a car, or that they died for that reason.
On the other hand, the verb of this family of words, that is, to run over , is used in some Spanish-speaking countries to describe the action carried out by the driver , whether intentional or not: «We are at the scene of a terrible car accident that caused the death of two people: the owner of the car was drunk and ran over them at an intersection, so they did not have enough time to react and move aside .
An abuse may consist of a violation of rights.
Violation of rights
The notion is usually used when a person or an institution acts without respecting the laws , regulations or even the rules of social coexistence . Suppose that a government decides that all citizens are obliged to prove their identity if a police officer requires it, stating that if they do not do so they will be arrested. Many lawyers describe the measure as an attack on individual freedom, maintaining that no one has the obligation to prove who they are just by being in a public space and remembering that all people are innocent of any crime until a judicial process proves otherwise.
The violation of citizens' rights is a recurring theme in many countries, although it is an issue that is inevitably subject to the time and the various factors that constitute culture, which is why it is not easy to study or resolve.
Other considerations about the accident
Another meaning of this term that is often used defines it as the deprivation of a third party's ability to speak , so that they cannot express their point of view or justify their actions. If we think about the magnitude of the impact of a motor vehicle against a person, it is easy for us to understand that it can not only cause great damage but also leave them unconscious and limit their mobility; Symbolic abuse is not very different, since someone uses power so that another individual cannot act freely.

This is a very famous song, which has been recorded by numerous Latin American artists, including Julio Sosa , Libertad Lamarque , Alfredo Sadel (opera singer), Caetano Veloso , Tita Merello , Joan Manuel Serrat , Nacha Guevara , León Gieco , Raphael and Liuba María Hevia .
