under my girlfriend is that your girlfriend my best friend's house yeah oh where does your best friend live py slates okay 45th Street Okay so so you live in gardens I do I live right here on okay so we're driving from 45th to home okay so I just got here so what what happened why is your vehicle so I'm getting off 95 right here there's another vehicle on my right lane when I'm going this way um they were coming a little bit towards my Lane but I swerve to the left a little bit cuz it's my vehicle I spent enough money on my vehicle so I don't want nothing to happen to my car so I swerve a little bit to the left lane or three lanes here so I get into the left lane but he comes in a little bit further but I hit the curb right here and I swerved into the right right here and that's when I called my girlfriend right here and I said we need to figure it out and then two cops pulled up M okay so you're were getting off here right here on 95 okay all righty well you must have hit the curb ra B then tire came off are you sure that's exactly what happened cuz yeah this sure right here you're yeah because I tried maneuvering out of the the right side that's your your R yes I tried to get out of the far Middle Lane as possible okay I was in the third lane which is the Middle Lane right here okay but can you explain why I have Rim marks I didn't do that no okay so what were you doing at your friend's house hanging out okay were you guys just having dinner no yeah saying it's after work it's 9:00 at night okay where do you work M pal Beach on my car s okay okay so we don't get off until 9:00 so okay so you went down there and hang out correct and then my girlfriend just showed up cuz I got in an accident and it's her car so okay that's why I called her ASAP okay did you have any drinks with your buddy at your first place I had about 2 hours ago 3 hours ago that's my best friend who I was with yeah okay Focus right here Alex that's weird Alex so can you continue on that about it so I had maybe about 3 hours ago not even I I had a beer not not even after 3 hours ago mhm but we hung out talked about work came home sober as can be like I don't I don't understand so you just had one beer what and he said 3 Hour 3 hours ago so what time was that what time is it now like 10:00 11 what time do you think it is right now right now it's about past midnight 1:30 okay so I know cuz I left this house about 12:30 1:00 yeah cuz I'm driving from placees okay okay well a reasonable person who' be not under the influence if they were to be cut off they' be able to control their maneuver the vehicle there's just no way your your wheel just automatically pop out like that as some were to cut you off and there's some good distance here of you driving on your Rim right here yeah in the white yeah yeah because how am I supposed to control the G well You' be alert as to what's going on I was alert you were alert that's why I went to the far right far left lane and came back to this right lane right here where I can put my hazards on and then two cops came up right behind me okay so I was aware of that yes okay I never called 911 never did anything I just called my girlfriend to be like I'm in your car all right but so there's also damage as well I'll pay for the damage but the fact is I didn't purposely no oh no no one would purposely run into that no I know that's what I'm saying okay so you know driving under the inflence is illegal right right so yet you drove from your friend's place down on 45th Street to here and then now you wrecked your vehicle here now here's the thing though so the other person that was going straight ahead is okay to just wreck my vehicle how did they crash into you no but they were swerved into my lane so I swerved to the left so if that's my fault I hit the curb no it's not okay so why is it so there's no cameras to show that that that car sword well at the same time you didn't even call the police or even report that but I don't need to because I'm going to still pay for my damage that car but you can also Report a reckless driver that's also work for ership Rec can get my stuff fixed but I never did anything wrong to begin with so I'm trying to figure out why you're questioning me about my whole family is here because I came off the 95 because somebody came in my right lane and I was in a far left lane to go straight to where I live on right here to the left okay I know where I'm going and it's the fact that the fact that somebody wanted to come into my lane a little bit and I get in an accident because I'm more worried about my car because my car is more expensive than that other car how's that my fault okay I'm not saying it's your fault I'm not talking about that you didn't even want to report that you didn't want to report not I don't need to report that I'm saying don't have you don't have to and I'm upset because the fact that I have to be sitting here and detained because my car because of my accident I there was no involvement of anybody else besides somebody else coming in the far right lane going to fast like I was I guess honestly yes you're right maybe going too fast but at the end day I was going past 50 I know that for a fact and the other person going next to me was going the same speed I was but couldn't control as much as I could so I drifted to the left a little bit to avoid Collision but then I hit the far curb right here to the left and my whole tire comes off in the middle of the road you can see where my tire went off literally right there past where your cop car is I picked it up and put it right here because it's that's what happened I don't I don't know what to tell you okay well again I have reason to believe that you under the influence I mean you you said you had a drink yeah years ago yes correct I understand you have every right all right so with that being said I'm going to ask you would you be willing to participate in a field uh test on field sobriety task to see if you are okay all right cool so can you um turn on the scene lights yep you stay over here Alex so do you want to change your story or are you sticking to the fact that someone cut you off if you're talking about my Grims were right there then maybe it was because I tried to turn back in but that's the fact because there's some pieces of that matches the description of your vehicle black pieces and Tire marks ref fresh Rim marks from right here all the way over there I seen you walking and was maybe over there yes maybe so but that's what I'm saying I don't know because I'm worried about my car okay but now now you're telling me something different before you told me you were coming off of here and the car cut you off and then you just crashed here yeah and I pulled over here to get out of the way I'm not on the opposite side of the road I don't remember so how was our car parts over there there was no cars coming that way so I don't I don't know okay all righty so now I'm back here we're good I H that curb right there okay just just that curb over there the one right here to the floor right like uh towards 95 all the way back there okay so you hit
