Lawyer: Texas' Kindle left crash scene

You've got to love this brilliant comment from his attorney, "He knew he was hurt at the time and that he needed to go home and go to bed," Brian Roark, Kindle's lawyer, told the newspaper.

Roark said the incident occurred at 2:50 a.m. ET on Wednesday and that Kindle was probably text messaging before the accident, the American-Statesman reported.

According to witnesses, Kindle and several occupants got out of the car and pushed it out of the residence and down the road before abandoning it, police said.

Wanna bet he wouldn't have passed the good ole field sobriety test with flying colors?

Precisely. It should have read "kindle realized he didn't need a second dwi so he ran home to go to bed. The next morning he notified UT coaches who came up with a good story"

Isn't it illegal to abandon a vehicle like that? What is the penalty for that?

NOPE...apparently it is not illegal to hit a stationary object like a building and leave the scene...if no one is injured. All you are required to do is to leave your contact information. In this case, this brillent UT "student-athlete" did not leave his contact info at the scene, but did contact the building owner/manager the next morning.

You have to believe the guy has some serious issues. BUT, he, in fact, may have been "texting while driving" and not drinking...there is a study just out that says texting while driving hampers your abilities more than "being under the influence". Hmmmmmmm...interesting, and yet we can't get a law passed to make it illegal to talk or text on the phone while driving.

Just another UT "student-athlete" reflecting well on the University of Texas. I am sure this makes Emmitt's day a bit brighter.
