Moore, OK — Authorities are saying that alcohol may have played a roll in a pedestrian accident that took place in Moore, Oklahoma this morning.
According to reports, a man had gotten a flat and was pushing a new tire down the street when he was hit by a car. The car pushed the man at least 200 ft. down the road before coming to a stop, and sent him through the car’s windshield.
The victim was immediately taken to the hospital. There’s been no word on his current condition.
The woman driving the car assaulted a police officer before she was arrested.
According to local residents, motorists often speed around that area.

Commentary
When dealing with hit-and-run cases, a question I often ask is, why do people flee the scene of an accident? Often, it’s because they’ve done something they don’t want other people to see. They have something to hide, so they leave. It’s never a smart choice, and it never helps their case. Well, something else an offending party could do is assault one of the police officers who comes onto the scene. Now, police are saying alcohol could have been a contributing factor to the accident, and the assault isn’t going to help the driver’s case. The long and short of it being, the driver in question never should have gotten behind the wheel of a vehicle that night.
