Despite authorities describing the circumstances that led to Touchton’s death as an accident, Brian Seth Carmichael was arrested because authorities have a “reason to believe” that he saw what had happened to Touchton and didn’t report it to authorities, according to AJC.com.
Deputies located Carmichael after they spotted an unattended vehicle near the scene that was missing a tire. Bankston said they had been alerted by an anonymous tipster that Carmichael had called for someone to come pick him up after the accident.
What a piece of shit.

Sounds like if he had just called 911 instead of getting a ride away from the scene he’d be fine (assuming he wasn’t drunk or something). The police seem happy enough to call this a freak accident without any concern about whether he was reckless or negligent in maintaining his vehicle.

I had a wheel come off a boat trailer I was towing once. I was on a quiet side road, maybe going 25-30, but still.
Wheel came off, I heard the clunk. It was a left side wheel on a dual axle trailer, so I was able to slow down and pull over safely. But the wheel passed me on the road, heading straight toward a group of people walking out of a bait shop.
The wheel went between some of them, splitting a gap in a fence, and continued on clear into a nearby river. It was less than 3 feet from several people as it passed by. Holy hell.
Clearly I stopped and made sure everything was ok, then fished the thing out of the river and the owner of the bait shop brought a jack out while I walked back along the road to collect some lug bolts. It could have been so much worse in so many ways.

I will never understand the way people think (or don’t think) in situations like this, if it is clearly an accident, and it seems like this really was, all you do by not calling 911 is make it seem like your trying to hide what happened.

I guess he panicked, or at least, that’s a generous interpretation. It was definitely an accident in the sense that he wasn’t deliberately driving around with a loose wheel hoping to kill a pedestrian. Because that’s a pretty terrible plan even if you ARE that evil-minded.
