Hit-Skip Auto Accident

Well, my cousin was riding with me this Sat. night. Not much happened till I said I wanted to get into something. Then we roll up to a light with a bunch of cars honking their horns...as if honking their horn is going to tell me exactly what the problem is. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a guy in the middle of the street. I figured everybody was honking at him...right? Wrong. I got him out of the roadway and started questioning him, only to find he had been in an auto accident nearby and the other guy fled. He was chasing the car on foot and another car was following the fleeing vehicle. (this turns out to be the honking culprit.) So I put out a radio broadcast for the car and a possible plate. Turns out the guy following him calls 911 and another jurisdiction ends up catching up to them and stopping the guy. He was driving under suspension, which is why he fled. That would just be a ticket. Now because he fled, he got arrested, the car towed, and got 3 tickets that are mandatory court appearance including a 6 point license violation (leaving the scene of an auto accident), and two other tickets, where if found guilty of all 3 will be another automatic suspension due to points on his license for him. Looks like it was a bad choice to flee. Oh...and his wife and baby were in the car with him. Fleeing from the scene of an auto accident is a pet peeve of mine. I'll nail you if I can find you...which I frequently do. I have a better win than lose record when it comes to that.
