"This is a busy road every day of the week. There's people up and down the sidewalk all day long, and we're very thankful no one got hit and was killed or injured," said Sgt. Scott Colaiania.

Right after the crash, witnesses watched as the driver jumped out of the pickup and staggered away.

They followed, called police and helped the officers track the driver.
