Another abandoned accident
Nearly the entire fire department, lots of cops and two ambulances were dispatched to this situation. The power pole was broken, the lines were still in the air, holding the broken pole up, but no driver was to be found.
It’s not unusual to get to a wrecked car and find nobody around. The most common reasons people run are because they’re intoxicated or because there are warrants out of them. Others run because they have no valid drivers license, they were breaking some other law, or they stole the car. Most of the car thefts are from people they know--family or acquantances.
But the people who run are often people who run away from problems other times: they’ve run away from school, from bosses and jobs, from friends and spouses.
We never did find the driver. He’s out there now, running.
