[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope it is not the case that they found the man's body entangled in the car the next day.  That has also happened before.

And it usually involves a person driving drunk.  [/quote]

The state has already confirmed that the body was discovered Sunday morning out near the crash site.  The body was not entangled in the car.

This article by a local news team has more info than most of the major sources which seem to be basing their articles on a wire posting.

That article isn't the best writing, but this jumped out at me:

"On Monday, the South Dakota Department of Public Safety said Ravnsborg reported hitting a deer with his 2011 Ford Taurus to the Hyde County Sheriff’s Office after the crash at 10:30 p.m. Saturday."

I find it incredibly strange that you'd call up the Sheriff's Office and tell them you hit a deer.[/quote]

Having been a police officer it's not unusual for people to call when they hit a deer.  The concern is usually that an animal is injured and suffering and has run off.  They also call and get a deer tag so they can keep the deer for food.  Most people stop and have police respond to document the damage for the insurance company.  What's unusual is that he called MONDAY about an accident that happened SATURDAY night after he left a GOP  event at a bar.    In VA even if it was the pedestrian's fault, he was drunk, or jumped in front of the truck, it's a felony for not stopping to render aid.  Any vehicle made since 2013 has an event data recorder (EDV).  They will be able to tell if he stopped at the scene and then fled.  An AG should know this.   Maybe he was feverish from the rapant COVID his governor caused.   :roll: [/quote]

I'm PP and I though he was driving a truck.  I just checked the list and 2011 Ford Taurus has a black box (EDR).  I hope the investigators are truthful.  I'm not expecting much these days.   https://skefc.com/wdpr/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CDR_v16.5_Vehicle_Coverage_List_R1_0_0.pdf[/quote]
