Pontiac GTO interstate hit and run

Attempting to show off for a crowd of spectators, the following video shows a Pontiac GTO driver failing miserably. Using an entrance ramp to an interstate as the stage, on lookers egg him on to do a fantastic display of power. Everything goes good for the Pontiac GTO until the driver over corrects, causing the car to sail through two lanes of traffic out of control. As fate would have it, a Lincoln Town Car is traversing through the third lane when the GTO interrupts his daily drive.

More street racing failures

Slamming into the front passenger side of the Lincoln with the rear driver side quarter panel, the Pontiac GTO realizes he's made a mistake. Instead of being a good citizen, stopping, and filing a police report he decides to flee in a feverish manner as it appears in this video. The bad luck ridden driver of the Lincoln attains the reality of what just happened, and pulls over to the side of the road to call police. It is unknown how this plays out, but it's safe to assume the suspect is still at large, or in jail for a hit and run felony. According to a comment below, the GTO stopped after leaving the scene of the accident. The truth is that we don't know anything.

    Good job writing an article and accusing people of things when you have no idea what actually happened... I was there, the driver DID stop, he went up to the first turn around and came back to the parking lot and talked to the police/Lincoln driver and was cited accordingly...
