If you’re planning a trip to the Nationwide Insurance office at Skillman and Abrams this morning, step lively. Friday night, a car crashed onto their front walk, narrowly missing their front window and leaving bricks strewn about. The driver ran off before police arrived, but not before removing his or her license plates from the grey sedan.

Police haven’t said if they think rain, alcohol or both contributed to the accident, but they say removing the plates was a waste of time. The car’s VIN (vehicle identification number) will identify the car and its owner, and they’ll seek retail security videos to see if they can figure out what happened.

We Lake Highlanders who know that intersection, know that folks who drive down Park Lane and don’t properly navigate their forced turn at Abrams run straight into Nationwide’s office, which is what this driver appears to have done. If you recognize the vehicle in the pics, you are invited to call the DPD tip line at 214-671-4TIPS.
