"llegar" as "to hit"

vote
The other day I saw the following in the "Word of the Day:"
Alejandro se siente responsable de mi pierna rota, y con razón: me llegó con su carro.
Alejandro feels responsible for my broken leg, and he should: he hit me with his car.
Is this a correct usage of "llegar?" I've never heard of it as meaning "to hit."
Thanks -

Just like that no....
Consider the following...
...me llegó a atropellar con su auto/...llegó a atropellarme con su auto.
Would that help?

Yes, what you're saying makes sense to me. I guess it's wrong as is. Thanks! - Jota8326, Apr 2, 2014
