Hit and Almost Run

Yet another Alledged Drunken Driver incident on Cricket Ave. At 4:00 in the afternoon a small SUV side swiped my niece's car parked in front of our home. Fortunately my alert neighbor experienced in the sound of park cars be smashed ran outside, and saw the woman attempting to drive away, and flagged her down. The driver ackwardly walked up to our front door. She nearly fell into my wife, and explained that her speech was slurred because of a problem with her dentures, and her walking was a problem with her back. She presented her information an expired insurance card, and what we later learned was an incorrect name. She was about to leave and my daughter said she should wait, because the police had been contacted. I have not seen a copy of the police report to date so remember this is alledged.

It was also relayed to me that she was not taken by the police car, and ten minutes after the police left the scene she simply drove away. A further annoyance is my nieces' insurance company stated that vehicle owner claims she was not involved in an accident. We will be watching the police reports to see if this incident makes the list.
