A recent hit-and-run crash left a driver in Kansas City feeling frustrated after police allegedly failed to provide assistance. Despite reaching out for help, the driver claims that they were left to deal with the aftermath of the incident on their own.
Beatty Hean, the driver in question, has equipped his car with a dashboard camera. This device captured a shocking incident on August 12. Another driver collided with Hean’s car, causing damage, and immediately fled the scene without taking any responsibility. Fortunately, the dashboard camera recorded the entire incident as evidence.
According to Hean, he reached out to the Kansas City Police department for assistance and stayed put with a Missouri Department of Transportation roadside response driver. However, despite waiting for 90 minutes, the police failed to show up.
According to Hean, his Subaru sedan suffered a damage worth $16,000 due to the crash.
A collision occurred on I-670 within Kansas City’s downtown loop involving Hean’s vehicle and another driver who rear-ended him. Hean’s camera footage captured the other driver colliding with a second car as they fled the scene.
According to Hean, he trailed the driver with the intention of obtaining his license plate details. As he pursued the vehicle, he witnessed the driver abandon the truck on the side of the road and flee on foot.
Upon searching the truck, he stumbled upon some insurance documents that provided undeniable evidence that the truck was not, in fact, stolen.
Hean expressed his disappointment about the possibility of being a victim of such an incident. He mentioned that the experience was frustrating and not something that anyone would want to encounter.
Hean is particularly disturbed by the fact that it took the Kansas City police a total of three hours to respond to his calls.
According to a spokesperson from the Kansas City Police Department, Hean’s initial call for help was made at 12:36 p.m. and an officer was dispatched to the scene at 3:36 p.m. on Tuesday.
According to the police spokesperson, the MoDOT driver also requested assistance not long after Hean’s initial call for help. Disappointed with the slow response time, Hean eventually gave up after waiting for 90 minutes and drove to a KCPD station to submit an accident report. He strongly feels that the police department failed to provide adequate support in his time of need.
According to Hean, one would naturally expect the system to function properly. People work diligently, pay their taxes, and abide by the law, but they find no assistance when in need.
According to a spokesperson from KCPD who spoke with FOX4, there were no officers available at the time when the incident occurred. As a result, a MoDOT driver was dispatched to ensure the safety of Hean and other individuals involved. It’s important to note that the police department prioritizes calls where there is a risk to human life.
On Tuesday, Hean expressed his concern about the reliability of something. He questioned, “Who can we really depend on?” It appears to him that the dependability of the subject is diminishing with time.
According to Hean, he has already filed a police report regarding the incident. However, upon checking with the police department’s media unit, they have no record of it. It is important to note that an arrest can only be made if a crime has been reported. On a positive note, Hean did not sustain any serious injuries during the incident.
