That said, if you're cruising along a highway, "leaving the scene" is a misnomer. By the time you figure out what you just saw and (if you're a decent human being) try to stop, you're a mile past the scene ... try backing up a highway for that length.
FYI: TommyDale, I don't think you're a racist for thinking the driver is a horrible human. I think you draw suspicion though when you draw race into a matter that has nothing to do with it.
Race may not be an issue at all. I hope not. But I heard the call, and I heard comments frow law enforcement personnel afterward that raised a red flag to me that perhaps the driver was either not believable, or was afraid of waiting for the police because he may have had something else going on in his car. I-95 is known for major drug running, and blacks are often stopped for "driving while black" if you get the picture... Perhaps the caller was afraid of his own car being searched.
I just looked at the map, from where he called from -- IF he knew exactly where he was -- I don't think there's another exit until Mile 145, and after that, it's another five miles.
He could have been further up the road than he thought; my husband is forever asking me "Where are you?" and I can't even remember the last exit I passed, much less the mile marker.
Evidently they went to where he said he saw it and stayed 22 minutes, looking around. Now, as I said, the EMS went, the Nash County Sheriff, and the Highway Patrol; somehow, I think those men are dedicated enough to have found something if there was anything that COULD have been seen.
They cover that stretch of road, which is ALWAYS on the news because it is deadly, all the time; and as one of them said early on, people call them all the time and say there was a wreck and somebody is broken down or wrecked and when they get there, there's nothing there.
I really feel for all those guys because I have no doubt there will be a lawsuit and they will be raked over the coals.
