"Just speculating here why a bishop would hide."

Agree with your 'speculations'. . .and no doubt,he was hiding or just 'getting his grip';

. . .or maybe he just thought a deer jumped off the city sidewalk or somesuch. . . .

Pathetic, pathetic excuses for Moral leadership. . .

Yup. And, if there was 36 hours between the time of the accident and the time of the arrest, it would give him plenty of time to get rid of the alcohol on his breath (forgive me, bishop, if I am in error here...). If he was under the influence of alcohol, it could help explain why he would leave the scene.

There's a lot of backgroud behind this story.

o'Brien has been under suspicion for a year of covering up a huge child molesting scandal in the Phoenix diocese, with numerous priests accused of molesting. Most of those accused fled with Church help, including being reassigned to places like Mexico. O'Brien, on the thin edge of being indicted for all of this, just plea-bargained last week, agreeing to finger the renegade priests.< P> So when he was driving home that night he was obviously in no mental condition to drive, whether or not any 'substances' were involved.
