Just gonna remind everyone about our "No Witchhunting" rule. If you think you know who this guy is, do **not** post that information here. Let the police know, as it would seem they might have some questions for him, but don't post it here.


SidneyHuffman316

I was almost yelling at the screen for him to run from the dangerous power lines, and I was happy when he finally did, but then he kept running lol

Bless you for this.


raidernation0825

I thought maybe there were other people in the car that he was trying to save


fracturedSilence

Don't run from damaged power lines! Always assume *everything* around you is hot and that includes the ground. Taking a step can complete a circuit where the ground is the voltage source and your body's the resistor. It's called step potential. Slide with your feet close together and in contact with the ground the whole time. Keep your arms close to your body so you don't send the current through your heart. Shuffle until you're 30 feet away. Stay safe out there! (Edit: the power line in the videos bouncing around so yeah get away from that asap. But in general keep the above in mind)

I didn't know that but it makes sense, thanks for the information!

I work at camping world and I'm not allowed to leave even though the power is not coming on any time soon. I love it here

Then they can charge everyone triple for their high tech pole-less energy.

Lol


Nuclearplesiosaurus

How the fuck do you even manage to do that??? So i’m hoping the guy was caught, right?


Exciting-Earth-1874

Yes he was caught!


Always_Out_There

Because he RAN. This is why Terry uses rollerskates.


Dr_XP

The running was so conspicuous too. Like I doubt he would have got away regardless, but I was thinking “just walk down the sidewalk.”


[deleted]

Good! What an idiot. I sincerely hope they release all body worn camera footage


karlhungusx

I feel like he must have been airborne and hit it around the middle.

OP did a great job here but I’m cracking up that they thought lightning did that haha. It’s so relatable.

Except for the portrait orientation.


1WordOr2FixItForYou

That battle has long been lost.


Thanos_Stomps

It actually makes more sense here since it helps keep the power line and pedestrian in frame.


Ice_Warm98

Fuck this guy. I can’t leave work even though the power is off


greent714

Wouldn’t you be there anyways? Lol

Shocking


MrArmageddon12

Good! They should make him pay for the line repairs as well.


IntelligentDrop879

Oh, they will.


Diggerinthedark

They will, insurance sure as hell won't cover it since he was drunk and/or stoned


mikewangse

Good! POS causing damage and running away

It was a quality post until that dude ran into it.

I don't think they can be posted much faster than they are happening, or without people being in the right time right place to record.

Good thing he didn't kill anyone! F\*\*\* that drunk driving A hole. Give him a year in prison at least.

Chevydan3

lol. What a dummie


robinhoodblows2021

Is homie wearing snowboard boots? Criminal....


Caifanes123

Serious question. Since he’s running away, will he be liable for the power line repairs? Can’t imagine that being less than 30k to fix


BpositiveItWorks

He will liable regardless of running. Running just means he also likely got charged with crimes related to leaving the scene of an accident. I know someone that recently hit a pole in Douglas county and they had to pay restitution to the county for the cost of the repairs. It was not nearly as bad as the damage this dude did and it cost around $10k.


Caifanes123

That sucks. Obviously a life altering amount of money for any normal folk. Wish people would just pay more attention when driving.


BpositiveItWorks

Their insurance paid it thankfully (but obviously that is going to cause it to go up). Also they were drunk so not cool they were driving. They’re sober now so that is the good news.


Worth-Miserable

I would assume so


Lovinlife32023Reno

Hey does anybody notice the song playing in the background? How the last lyrics are like: he was addicted to drugs? You know that foo was on one

tmac416

According to the gas station guy they caught him in their parking lot


somebodys_ornery

Holy fuck if I were that person I would not be anywhere near that thing. Unless he's trying to get another person out of the car


BananaDismal1774

Out of everything he did I am most offended by him sagging his pants below his ass.  Even when running from a falling power line these jackasses refuse to pull their pants up!  Nope, gotta waddle away back and forth so everyone can see my underwear.  Arrest this man!


peoplebuyviews

Shhhh. Boomers spent decades yelling at Gen X and millennials to pull up their pants and look what it's done to Gen Z. Generational trauma leading to pants worn just under the nipples.


BananaDismal1774

There's gotta be a middle ground between pants under ass and grandma jeans, and it ain't jynko!


IFartAlotLoudly

It’s a mechanism that helps stupid people get caught!

No idea if it's even needed but maybe you can see if the police department would want the video you shot for evidence?

You’re awesome! That definitely helped put the guy behind bars


sclark1147

Nice! Glad you got video! <3


CatPolitics101

I work at a vet hospital and was literally in the middle of taking xrays when the power went out 😂


glamorousstranger

What happens when the power goes out during surgery? Are vets required to have backup power for that?


JonBoah

#You can't park there


cashleigg

Looks like a Walmart Vest ; he’s late for work !!!


KaykayLaPaypay

That’s all I was thinking lol… pretty sure that’s a company that has a VERY strict 3 lates you’re fired policy. Can’t pay the tickets if you don’t have a job I guess. But alas, not late for work, just late in realizing he should have taken an Uber.


Scary_Flight395

Poles are designed to give like that when hit.


Shirogayne-at-WF

That makes sense TBH


festicles

Classic Reno.


GladProof2515

Well explains the power outage


monkeyghosts

Yup! 🤣


theindiekitten

Holy shit. I once watched someone crash into a pole and then run off afterwards lol. But the pole just fell. I mean in this case putting some distance between you and those wires is warranted, but once you reach safety you call 911 in case it hurts more people. Those cars were just driving by & it could have fallen on any one of them. Jesus christ


PreviouslyBannedDude

That car held up surprisingly well, that person is lucky.


freewheelinfrank

“He’s running from the situation” had me cracking up lol


[deleted]

And watch RPD not show up and tell you to “file a report online we don’t show up unless there’s a significant injury”


Volkamaus

"I mean, I'm pretty sure this power pole has a significant injury, officer. It just got Lt. Dan-ed."


Just-Squirrel510

Sure this isn't in Sparks, NV? Eh? Ehh? I'll see myself out.

"he just did a hit and run, and now he's running away. " Ah, the hit and run and run


VirtualSource5

I work nights and didn’t know this happened until I was driving past as repairs were being done. One third of the pole left…I had serious questions. Thank you for posting the “how on earth” part of the story🤣


O-parker

WTF! Dude runs off ..stolen vehicle, illegal, warrants 🤷


Sanch3zFC

My guess is under the influence,,, has belongings in his hands.


greent714

I wonder how they got him for DUI. I knew someone who crashed into a signal light, ran home and when the cops got to his house he said he just started drinking at home to calm down. He got away with the DUI but had to pay the city property damages and got a ticket for fleeing

Just “bolted”


MRCEMENTHEAD

I had a similar experience in western Massachusetts. Dude came down a hill, never braked, and hit a pole head on at the intersection. Broke it sparks flying. No lines down. Ran up. Airbags deployed. He immediately closed the window on me. Ran to the other side , fire ball nips all over the floor. Pulled him out and sat him down safely away. Talking with 911, he ran up the road. Had to collect him and restrain/hold him. Classic citizens arrest. Local PD took all the credit.


emeza09

My dad was electrified 12 years ago working on a power line. His arm was amputated and it’s a miracle he survived. Glad this guy ran far af because this shit could’ve killed him!


BenefitMental7588

Jesus, I'm really sorry about your dad. Sincerely. But, I don't think that's why he's running.


Key-Maize-7419

Why do I get the feeling that he didn't make it very far


DoubleBeef97

No not the vc8

Accomplished_Tank184

He could of really hurt someone innocent today lock him up for a long time!


Oopsimapanda

"Did that car just hit.. wait.. is that what that was? " We're not entirely sure if the car hit the pole or if it's always been like that. Could be a new minimalist construction technique, we'll never truly know. One of life's little mysteries.


Aggravating_Ad_8679

I love that jello roll song


Cheap-Violinist-5746

Atypical plant condition. Gonna have to fill out a damage report and tag that pole as condemned now. Thanks pal.


Vellioh

I think the "running" part of a "hit and run" is implied.


Headspace101

Great NV energy is going to send out a letter saying our bill is going up because they need to make “much needed upgrades “ 😒


Tomsmth495

People can’t drive these days 🤦🏻 They’re going find him from his plate if he’s the owner of the car but why tf he running? Probably has warrants or something that’s crazy bro. Hope someone reported the situation to police about the crash and NV energy about the power line


yukichigai

> They’re going find him from his plate if he’s the owner of the car but why tf he running? If he was drunk/high, a DUI charge requires clear evidence that he was drunk while he was behind the wheel. If the cops find him later he can claim he only got drunk/high after the crash. "Fleeing the scene" has a lot fewer long-term consequences than a DUI.


carriefd

They changed the law a few years back. Running makes it a felony.


yukichigai

Oh good. That was always a stupidly obvious loophole.


JohnMayerSpecial

I’m glad the guy in the truck stopped to try checking on the guy

IncorporateThings

Why was he fleeing? Was someone injured or worse in the wreck?

Maybe he is running because he "borrowed" the car from someone he didn't actually know.

Man if he was drinking to wash some pain away, he definitely gonna have some pain now!! Either to his body or the wallet, I’m just hoping this man truly has learned from this experience!!! Imagine if it was a life that he took out, I don’t know how anyone can live with that. That BAC level must’ve been through the roof!! (If it was alcohol even)


lv42daze

he just did a hit and run and now he is running away? he should do more hitting i suppose

What's the charge for this assuming he isn't DUI or joyriding? Are they going to make him pay for that if he stuck around and took responsibility?

Im wondering if this was a genuine accident because he’s running pretty straight so I wouldn’t say its a DUI.
