The driver of the car in an accident in Santa Ana, California decided he couldn’t stick around to face arrest, so he took off. What an honorable fellow!

He will need a good lawyer who handles difficult DUI cases in Orange County.
Whether he’d been caught in Santa Ana, or Fullerton, or Newport Beach or Irvine, he’d still be facing DUI hit and run charges.
