SHOCKING footage shows the moment an alleged drunk driver crashes into the back of a parked car before continuing his journey on foot.
The hit-and-run collision happened on Broad Street in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire at 10:01pm on Saturday March 26.
CCTV shows a red van driven by an unidentified man hit the rear of Nissan Qashqai at speed causing both driver and passenger airbags to deploy.
Seconds later, the driver who appears to be disorientated and unsteady on his feet jumps out the van before retrieving some items from the vehicle.
He walks away, but seems to have second thoughts and returns, but after a brief conversation with onlookers he leaves for good.
Leigh Cane owner of the Nissan, can be heard asking the driver what he is doing as he walks away, them tells onlookers not to worry about it all been captured on camera.
When asked what made him think the driver was drunk, Leigh, 40 said: "Because he couldn’t talk properly or walk in a straight line - and I saw him take beer cans out of the van."
Police recovered the vehicle later that evening and retrieved a wallet and mobile phone from inside.
Leigh shared the footage the next day on social media with crying emojis and has since discovered that his car is a write off.
One user commented: "Imagine fleeing in the hopes you'll get away with it but leaving all your details - what an idiot.
"Hope it gets sorted soon, deserves what he gets after that."
Another wrote: "They are just sc*m that try and get away with things like this, equally turns out he’s an absolute tool too."
A third added: "He wont be bothered about getting caught once he's sobered up."
West Yorkshire Police have confirmed this was a damage-only road traffic collision and no one has been arrested.
