[police siren]
- Right now we're headed to a traffic crash.
Somebody crashed their vehicle into a ditch up here.
Unknown if the driver's still pinned in the vehicle or not.
Definitely.
The driver was probably impaired.
There was a 12 pack of Bud Light in there.
It smells like vomit and alcohol.
The vehicle driver has fled the scene.
Nobody saw him leave.
They just saw the truck in the ditch.
- He-- you know, he started spinning when he tried to make
a turn and just crash-- you know, kept correcting,
and then down the--
- Wound up going off the road here?
- Yeah. - OK.
Did you see a male in the truck or anything like that, or--
- No. I--
- Did you see anybody leave the vehicle?
- No, sir. - OK.
- Well, actually, I--
I did see the door open, but I didn't see-- you know,
I was getting gas, and I was on the phone with 911.
I didn't see a male-- you know, a male, you know, anybody get
out of the truck [inaudible].
- OK.
All righty.
So we just talked to the reporting party.
He said he saw the vehicle crash,
but he didn't see anybody leave the scene.
So I'm just running a tag on the pickup truck
now to see if we can figure out who was driving.
My partner is doing a little area search around the truck
to see if there's any signs of somebody that might
have fled the accident scene.
- 365, we've got FHP notified.
[inaudible] [bleep]
- And I was like, damn.
And we were both drinking.
- So why are you hiding in the woods?
- Where is the other guy at?
- He's gone?
There's nobody else back in the woods here?
Who's the other guy you were with?
- Is it a black guy?
- Were you the one driving?
- What's your name?
- Why do you have the keys?
- What's Your name?
- All right.
Let's go up by the truck.
- It doesn't look too good for you.
You were hiding in the woods.
You just crashed a vehicle that's registered to you.
- Really worried about him?
Where's he at then?
- [inaudible]
- Alex.
- Why don't you-- why don't you just take a seat
right here on this pavement?
I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself.
So why did you guys go run and hide in the woods here then?
If you didn't crash the vehicle, then--
- But he was definitely the one that was driving?
- What were you guys doing over here,
spinning your tires and stuff?
- So how did you get in your boxers?
- Since what?
- You went to a party today?
- You came out of that party with your clothes off?
- FHP is going to work the whole investigation.
But obviously, he tried to leave the scene of an accident
and was trying to run from the crash
so he didn't get in trouble for drinking and driving
or whatever else he was doing.
Reckless driving on the roadway, here.
- [inaudible] you were hiding in the woods?
- The witness that we spoke to stated
that he couldn't confirm that it was this male that
was behind the wheel.
It looks like this guy is probably
going to get off today.
His story doesn't really add up, but there's
nothing to put him behind the wheel of the vehicle
to charge for a DUI right now.
So the trooper is probably going to just work it as a car
accident and make sure this guy gets home safe,
doesn't hurt anybody tonight while he's driving like this.
