2 More Crashes -- Just Another Night In Hudson

This morning, I came upon evidence of 2 car crashes occurring last night.  This poor car on the 600 block of State Street, obviously parked at the time, was slammed into, and forcefully.  The rear axle appears to be bent -- it is probably a total!  There was plenty of debris on the ground surrounding the car, though the car that caused the damage was nowhere to be seen. [Update: The car is still there on Thursday afternoon, with a note on the windshield from the car owner asking for the police not to ticket the car, and that they were waiting for a response from their insurance company.  Then:  "It was a hit and run on Tuesday night."  So, no tow truck was involved.  Not yet, at least.

I should know.  A few years ago, on the other side of 6th from this accident, my car was totaled by someone careening around the corner.  The passenger side wheels were forced up and over the curb (same as this one), the axle was bent, and the car was a total loss, not worth repairing.

Then there is this car body debris at the corner of 4th and Warren, which was not there yesterday.  By New York State law, as I understand it, the responding tow truck driver is required to sweep up the mess created by the crash - all the large and small pieces.  Tow truck drivers rarely do this.  They are not supposed to just take the car(s) away, but all the pieces resulting from the crash as well.
