    Whoever the driver was one can bet he is a real piece of work. I agree with Fred. Hope the person is located and out in prison for a long time. He is dangerous to others. Lock him up.

    First the roads are flipping vehicles, then trees are jumping out in front of drivers, now power poles are jumping out at drivers. We aren’t safe, no matter where we drive. LOL.

    several possibilities – DUI; outstanding warrants; no license; or my personal favorite, all 3.

    After this crash that tore UP that vehicle the driver and anyone else just left?
    Many more questions than answers about this and much speculation.
    Hopefully, we’ll get the “And for the rest of the story” when more info is available.
