Novak says the cops came, put in “briefly” in the back of the police car and asked about what he heard at the time of impact. Novak told them and reiterated to us, he didn’t hear anything and didn’t feel anything. They asked if he had been drinking or on a cellphone and he answered “no” to both.
Novak, who was citied for failing to yield, says he won’t fight the ticket, adding, “I assume witnesses are telling the truth.”
Seems to me by that last statement that Novak knows what happened, but he will not admit it? But then again, if he is so far out of it and does not know what happened, then why is he still driving?
I don’t know - this is wild speculation on my part - but in DC? Someone might just be staging this as a way to get you to pull over for a carjacking or a robbery. And if it was a person failing across the fender and placing hands against the windshield and being pushed back up onto his/her feet by the force of the car... I don’t know - no one could know based on this written information. On K street I would suspect there are security cameras and red light monitors that may have picked it up. I’m not willing to condemn his driving based on the sketchy description here. I think Paul Newman was kicking ass and taking names in Lime Rock last year at 82, so it’s not impossible.
