MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A car struck a power pole in East Memphis early Monday morning, police said.
Then, FOX13 captured footage showing a car leaving the scene.
Memphis Police (MPD) said it happened around 4:45 a.m. at Poplar Avenue and Prescott Street. As a FOX13 crew made it to the scene, a damaged car — a White Dodge Charger — was seen driving off.
In a report, police said officers found the driver asleep in the Charger at Berclair Road and Jamerson Avenue, which is about 4 1/2 miles from where the crash happened. While canvassing the area, officers found another car had been struck, MPD said.
Police said the driver of the Charger was sent to a hospital to be treated and later booked into the county jail.
