if i were the ackjass that crashed that car i would have got out, ran into the woods and lived the rest my life as a secluded forest dwelling man creature never to be seen or heard from again.

I hope he got a good whipping with a cane - one lash with the cane for every dollar involved in the crash. counting damage to the roadway, the phone poles, police fire and rescue money and the money spend on repairing or replacing street signs and electrical wiring and phone pole replacement.

and one more lash to grow on

then one lash more for the hell of it

make that 2 more lashes

edit: then all the hard working people who build those cars get to urinate on his cane lashing wounds.

You would not be into capital punishment for people who over stay their parking meters too would you  ;D

That would be Deiter...

For those who didn't follow the story the guy who crashed the car us named Stefan Erikson.  He used to run a company called Gizmondo and basically ran out on investors with their cash.  He moved to the 'States bringing his Ferrari with him and neglecting to tell the auto-loan holder.  He also stopped paying his car loan, basically stealing the car.

When police arrived to the crash Stephan claimed a German named Deiter was driving and he fled in to the woods.  Stephan had been drinking.

Things got weirder.  After Stephan made a cell phone call some dudes showed up with badges claiming to be from Homeland Security and took Stephan aside.  They then tried to convince the police to release Stephan in to their custody but they failed and left.  Meanwhile the police find an illegal gun in the car.  Hmmm.  Turns out the guys are from a privately run Transit Security group that Stephan is involved in.  Later police find Stephan's blood on the driver's air bag and no evidence that "Deiter" exists.

The case ended up with so many twists and turns that it's still sorting itself out.  I'm sure there are better news articles on the web but this is what I found with a quick search.  (language warning)

Reminds me of something from many, many years ago. I went to boarding school, and one weekend there was a very bad accident involving two cars on a very sharp bend and our school brick wall that we where "held" behind. The fault lay with one driver, who also happened to be a local Labour councilor, who once the steam and wreckage had settled proceeded for what ever reason to do a runner over some nearby fields. The police came and we gave statements. The Councilor was later arrested and denied that he was driving. His story was that the car was not driven by him and that the local posh public school boys where being influenced by the school to try and discredit the local Labor controlled council, which back in the early 80's was known as the Loony Left.  ;D

Some years back (1970's?) a famous local politician on the national level (last name "Kenedy") was drunk and drove off a bridge in to a river, killing his passenger.  No charges were ever brought.  So yeah, politicians get a little different treatment than the rest of us.

Kennedy's and water just don't seem to mix from what I have seen of the family history.
