The driver fled the scene, leaving Daryl Willmore alone on the curb to wait for highway patrol to show up.
Luckily, he did not need immediate medical attention. But Willmore still called the local police, who forwarded his call to the Florida Highway Patrol . The FHP told him that an officer could not get to the scene for several hours. Willmore said he called six times for help.
An FHP officer finally arrived at 1 a.m., over five hours after the accident, and told Willmore there was nothing they could do without a license plate number.“We take serious calls first. The life-threatening calls, the ones blocking the road. But, crashes that have no suspect information and have no injuries, unfortunately, those have to wait a little longer. If we had 100 people on duty that night, we wouldn’t have the wait. Our goal is not to make people wait. We don’t want people to wait.
