On Thursday, February 16, 2023, officers with a local police department responded to an area after dispatch received an automated 911 call from a smart watch indicating a car crash. Upon arrival, officers found an SUV that had crashed into a median tree. An investigation, aided by witness video, revealed the driver had initially struck a stationary occupied vehicle at a nearby intersection, failed to stop to exchange information, and fled the scene by driving the wrong way down a divided highway before ultimately colliding with the tree. Officers noted the driver displayed severe signs of impairment, including heavily slurred speech, glassy eyes, and a strong odor of alcohol. The driver denied drinking, attempted to get back into the driver's seat, and became highly combative—pushing and attempting to kick officers while resisting handcuffs. A subsequent blood draw revealed the driver had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.284 g/100mL. The suspect was arrested and faced multiple charges, including Operating While Intoxicated, Hit and Run, Wrong Way on a Divided Highway, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer.
