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.
Exactly. So he calls 911 and then would have to drive 10-20 miles to get back to the site ... when he had every reason to believe the cops would already be there.
I'm not saying I would do what he did -- but I don't think driving by a 70mph can be accused of leaving the scene and for them to release his name ... I'm shocked.
