Norfolk Police investigating DUI hit and run


Posted on Sep 30, 2009

A late night crash that landed a car in the front yard of a residential home is being investigated by the Norfolk Police.

 

The events of the night started when the driver, James Imani Stewart, hit a parked car and a power pole.  Stewart continued on, eventually crashing into the front yard of a house on Nesbitt Drive.

 

Police consider the first accident a hit and run, since Stewart did not stop after the original collision.  One person, a backseat passenger, was injured in the accident and had to be taken to the hospital.  He was found unconscious in the back seat after the crash; his current condition is unknown.

 

There was another passenger in the back seat of the vehicle when the accident happened, and he told a news station that he had been asleep in the car when the crash happened.  The impact of the crash woke him up, and he was able to help his unconscious friend in the back seat.

 

The driver was taken away from the scene of the crash in handcuffs and has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI).  There were no other injuries in the accident, although the front porch of the residence was damaged.
