Wish I had one of those remote disable switches Friday night. At an intersection on the road leading from my office. I was southbound and a Ford Ranger traveling northbound and in the left turn lane slammed on it's brakes to avoid ramming into the back of a stopped car, and it swerved left and jumped the concrete median and hit the drivers side of the car in front of me. The driver of the truck managed to back off the median....and he ran. I tried to chase him down but by the time I got around the median and into the northbound traffic....the truck was gone. I went back and met the guy that had been hit, and we waited for the Police to arrive, so I could be a witness to what had hapened. Luckily just before the Police came....another fellow showed up who saw what had happened and he was able to get the license number of the truck. The office took down all the information. I am not sure what happens now.......but hopefully it involves some jail time and strip search! The driver must have been drinking, had drugs or something illegal in the truck, had no insurance or license.....with all the cars around him there was little chance that he would get away without someone getting his license number.
OK.....Just went and looked up the KY penalities for leaving the scene/failure to render assistance in an accident. The penalty if convicted is a fine of $ 20 - $ 2,000, and jail time can be up to 1 year. These penalties are listed for no-fatality accidents.
