Michael Waltrip was charged with reckless driving and failure to report an accident after a crash on Molly’s Backbone Road in Catawba County, North Carolina.
The Highway Patrol says Waltrip was driving about 70 miles per hour in the 55 mile-per-hour zone when he went off the right side of the road in a curve around 1:50 a.m. Saturday. His car then traveled back across the pavement and off the left side of the roadway, sliding sideways and striking a utility pole as it overturned.
The car then rolled over and came to a rest on its side.Troopers said a witness saw Waltrip crawl out of the vehicle and leave the scene. When a trooper went to his home around 2:30 a.m. no one was there, but when he went back at 8 p.m. he found Waltrip, who admitted he’d fallen asleep at the wheel.

if he fell asleep at the wheel, how come he walked away from the scene? unless that crash woke him up a little...
