angiud Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Many drivers flew the accident scene because in case of blood analysis the would be found positive to meth. Few days detox and back to the police where, on an approximate blood check, they will be clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonsalviz Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Amnart said the co-driver has fled the scene How unpredictable... RIP to those five. The driver(s) departing the scene is not because he is afraid to own up to the accident, but because he is afraid of being killed by the local villagers.
