I just watched how you were [ __ ] driving. >> On January 7th, 20125, officers arrived at what looked like a simple car accident. A car that was smashed right into a building. But as police took a closer look, it quickly became clear this was far more serious than anyone expected. >> Is everyone okay? >> Trying to help them out? >> Yeah, I'm going to help them out here. He's going to grab the other hand. Yep. Yep. Yep. Just so no one gets hurt. >> No. >> All right.

We just took a little jar. My dad has >> I'm fine. I heard >> you trying to make sure yall was okay. I >> When the first officers arrived, they believed only one car was involved in the crash. But as more units arrived, a second vehicle was suddenly discovered around the corner crashed into another building, hidden in plain sight, never once mentioned by the driver. >> Are you sure you're okay? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I don't, you know, I don't feel like I have a concussion or I'm not, you know, >> Yeah. >> disorientated or anything. It was is a genuine mistake.

I'm I'm so sorry. I I I can't believe that this happened. This is genuinely unbelievable. >> The second carried a father and his infant daughter in the back seat. The crash left the father pinned and unable to move while his baby girl was discovered lying in the back of the vehicle, violently thrown from her car seat. The first batch of officers on scene were still unaware of this at the time. Do >> you guys have insurance in the vehicle, obviously? >> Yeah, I do. >> Yeah, we'll grab that when they pull it out. >> As the second wave of officers worked frantically to free the father and his daughter from the wreckage. Witnesses approached with a bombshell. They had the entire crash captured on dash cam. The footage revealed the kid had been barreling down the road at 96 mph. And when the two cars collided, the impact sent them spinning in opposite directions. >> No one else was under any of the other vehicles that I collided with. >> What? >> No one knows >> over there. There was one. >> Are they okay? >> Um they're checking on them right now. >> Okay. >> But they're they're >> we don't know.

I was already going like 50 miles per hour, which must have been 10 miles over the the speed limit because this is probably like a 40. And at that point, it was a little too late for me to break. And once I started to press on the brakes, I collided with the car. And after that, I you know, after the collision, I must have >> just kept going. Yeah, exactly. You know, I was already on the brakes. So after that, you know, >> do you know what lane you were in? >> I was in the uh middle lane. >> Middle lane? >> Yeah. Well, no, no, not not the middle lane.

What was your name? >> What? >> What was your name? >> As officers pieced the scene together, subtle signs began to surface. The driver's erratic behavior, slurred speech, and delayed reactions. It soon became clear that this wasn't just reckless driving. The driver may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol. So, just be straight with me, man. We're We're staying up here.
