I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for this incident to be solved. Not long ago around 3:00am I heard a car smashing sound and looked out my window to see a car with badly dented right side finder and hood along with a blown tire taking off from the scene. I immediately notified police and within five-plus minutes, a patrol car responded after giving all the particulars a second car arrived, they spent more time going over the report before deciding to search the area for the disabled car that left the scene. If ever time was of the essence, it was in this case.
