SUV caught on camera airborne and damaging car then drives away in East Brandywine
EAST BRANDYWINE TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) - Home security video captured the bizarre moment when an SUV went airborne through a row of hedges and on top of a car before it landed in a driveway. Only seconds later, the video showed the driver turn around and drive away.
"That's the part that angers me the most. Not the fact they hit my car, but the fact they decided to leave and are nowhere to be found," Andre Pennisi, whose car was damaged, said.
It happened Thursday just after 4 p.m. outside Rob McCall's home on Route 322 in East Brandywine Township.
"It's baffling, I don't get it," McCall said.
McCall said he offered to fix his friend's car, which was having transmission issues, and let him park the '92 Chrysler in his driveway. On Thursday afternoon, McCall said his wife quickly realized something wasn't right.
"When my wife got home she pulled in the driveway and saw some of the debris from the hedges lying in the middle of the driveway and then noticed our friend's car and front end was mangled," McCall said.
One of the car's fenders was damaged and so was the hood. It's unclear how much it will cost to make repairs. Pennisi is thankful no one was standing in the driveway at the time but said he's disappointed the driver took off.
East Brandywine Township police told CBS News Philadelphia on Sunday they had identified the driver, who said she had a medical emergency that led to the crash.
McCall said he found pieces of the white SUV, believed to be a Nissan Rogue, in his driveway and bushes.
Now, East Brandywine Township Police are investigating the crash captured on video.
McCall posted the video to his Facebook page, which has been viewed more than 220,000 times.
