I was about half a block away walking up Wallingford Ave when the wreck happened. Three guys in the Explorer were crossing Eastbound from a stop sign. They zipped out right in front of a Mazda who slammed on the brakes but still broadsided them and they flipped. When I got there they were crawling out the side windows and a lot of smoke was coming from the truck. They were saying stuff like “Who hit us? I’m gonna mess him up!”. Another witness heard them say they’d shoot the guy. The Mazda driver said he was on the phone with the police and they offered him money to hang up. When he said no the three Explorer riders ran away before the cops got there.
The Mazda driver was fine and even drove his damaged car away. Here is a photo right after it happened.

I was there minutes afterwards and can confirm that the driver(s) of the SUV were not on site….nobody seemed to know where he/she/they were.
It was a very odd situation to say the least….
Did anyone look for them at Babalu?
DOUG. beat me to the Babalu connection.
The cops actually have the SUV, right? So running away is not a plan of immense genius, at least not for the owner.
@meganc unless it was stolen.
it was stolen. i was walking home from work last night and there were a few cops in front of the wallingford center by the bus stop and i asked if any of them knew about the flipped SUV. All they said was it was a stolen SUV and they asked if i knew anything else about it.
