I am def keeping it for a while but I might as well try to recover some value if it is available to me.
The investigating officer just called me to give me the lowdown...
Another car was apparently following this guy while on the phone with the police approx a mile or two before they got to me...
After he hit me and I pulled off, the guy exited the GS parkway with the witness still behind him (unknowingly).
He was met by some cops a few miles later and apparently almost hit them.
He did have a child in the car... it was a 12 year old cousin... not as bad as I thought but still a child in danger... he was charged with...
DUI
DUI with a minor
Careless driving (and I believe careless with a minor)
Hit and run
refusing a breathalizer
and a few other tickets...
Officer said most likely he will plead guilty to the one charge of refusing a breathalizer and all the other charges will be merged. This avoids trial and gets him off the road for 6 months... not what I would have hoped for but at least it is solid.
They said the guy appeared to have insurance (had a valid card) so I can get the info when the report is due.
I am going Monday to get estimates and start the process, just want this all behind me.
