Accused drunk driver who smashed into car was arrested for DUI months ago

Channel 2 Action News has obtained exclusive surveillance video that captured the moment a suspected hit-and-run driver slammed his truck into parked cars at a Sandy Springs apartment complex.

It was around 3 a.m. on October 16 when Sandy Springs police received word that Alpharetta police were investigating a hit-and-run involving a white truck that had crashed into the back of an officer’s SUV on GA-400.

When Sandy Springs police spotted the suspect’s vehicle, they tried to stop the driver, but he kept on going and led police on a chase that ended when the driver veered off River Parkway, near Roswell Road, crashed through a fence, drove up an embankment, and crashed into a parked car at the Azalea Park at Sandy Springs apartments.
