Witnessed an accident on Friday
I was on my way to work on Friday 10-2-26 and at around 345 am, I witnessed a drunk man in some sort of smaller Chevy car, ram into the back of this 62 year old man who was getting ready to make a left turn on spring road near jennings. The drunk guy was going at least 60 something. He tossed on his right turn signal to turn right onto spring but then instantly swerved in front of me in the left lane, where the older man was about to turn, and rammed RIGHT INTO HIM. I had been following the drunk driver for a good 5 miles atleast. Not intentionally, he just so happened to be going the same way I was. I stayed to be a witness. After about 10 minutes, the drunk man drove away in his smashed up Chevy car. It was a darker blue color I believe (it was still dark, I could be wrong but I'm almost positive). The older gentleman got pictures of the car but was so shaken up, he only got blurry pics of the plates. He did get a pic of the guy but once the guy realized he was being photographed, he tossed up his arms, which is seen in the photo taken. I have none of these photos. I was on the phone with the dispatcher as the drunk man was driving away and was able to read off the entire plate and stated exactly what street he turned down, which was jennings. Later that afternoon, the man that was hit, went to file a report at first district and they claimed they never received any plate info or anything related to the drunk driver and chose not to pursue. The man hit has chosen to pay his $500 deductible and move on. He came to let me know all this info yesterday as I had let him know where I worked bc we work 2 minutes from one another and were headed in the same direction. He gave me $50 to thank me and refused to take it back. So in his honor, I donated it to habitat for humanity. Mr. Cales, I wish you the best and I'm so sorry. To that drunk man that shitty ass first district is failing to pursue, you're just as shitty as that drunk man. (I should state, this all happened going from 480 onto 90, spring road exit. The drunk man entered from state road as I was merging onto the 90 exit)
Edit: apparently thanking someone full name is bad lol Double edit: people downvoting this are weird as fuck
