Description

Last night after dark in the pouring rain there was a MAJOR accident on Lexington. Numerous households called 911. An SUV drove right into 2 parked cars without ever even using his brakes. This accident could have killed the driver and anyone within 25' of where it happened. The driver could have been seriously injured, he could have ran, he could have been in trouble with the owners of the cars that he ruined and it took OVER a half of an hour for anyone to arrive.

He was drunk and admitted it on the scene.

Wrecked cars and people in the street did not stop a few people from speeding right through the scene which could have caused more accidents and possibly death.

I pay too much to live in this city for failed services.

I witnessed one of the cops stuffing his face with food inside the car while people were still all over the street . No flares were set up, nobody was directing traffic and the guy was eating which leads me to believe many negative things which I dont need to go into.

On top of it all the tow truck driver did not attempt to clean the street up which I believe is their job. Maybe the city doesnt want to burden them with such menial tasks and they would rather the neighborhood residents go into the street with numerous speeders that drive by unchecked and sweep it up.
