Rx8 drift fail

so i was on a ride along with my dad (he is a long beach cop), and we show up to a scene where this guy tried to drift his rx8, crashed it, got out puked, then ran away lol.

was a gray rx8 that looked pretty stock but the front end was destroyed and blood all over the airbags.

Just thought I would share this lol

Sounds messy, probably puked from the hit that left blood all over the air bags. Wonder why he ran? Stolen? No insurance?

Probably had been drinking. If he stayed, he would have both a DUI and the accident charge. You don't have to testify against yourself, so they can't make you say you were driving the car.

+1 to DUI

He can turn himself in after 12 hours and said he was too scared and went to see a doctor or something. Nothing cops can do anything about.

Yea that would make sense. Besides, a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident is far less than a DUI

People are stupid. Drifting on the street? WTF is that about. You hit a slick spot or a bump and if you are lucky you only crash your car. People could be walking on the sidewalk and now you are lucking at manslaughter. Learn to drive on the track and play on the track. Streets are to get you from point A to point B, if you are going to have fun on the streets you better do it in a legal or almost legal manner.

Ok I am off my soap box.
