An Orlando father is seeking justice after he said he tracked down the driver who fled after crashing into his family's car.
Jason Linton said his fiancee and two children were driving home Wednesday evening when they were T-boned near the intersection of 4th Street and 8th Avenue.
The accident caused major damage to the family's SUV, especially to the back passenger door where Linton's 18-month-old son was sitting.
After the crash, Linton said the driver didn't stop to see if anyone was injured.
"As soon as he T-boned (the car), he kept going straight down 8th Street toward the back of our neighborhood and parked his car at his house and took off," said Linton.
Once he was assured that no one was seriously injured in the accident, Linton said he was able to track down the car responsible for the crash with the help of neighbors.
"I notified law enforcement right in his driveway," said Linton. "They transferred me to Florida Highway Patrol. That's when I was relayed the message they'd get to it when they can."
An accident report was filed with a trooper at the scene of the crash, but Linton said he's concerned with a lack of urgency from FHP.
"I'm worried he might get behind the wheel of a car and do this again, possibly kill somebody, or even worse," said Linton.
Local 6 reached out to FHP early Thursday for comment, but has not yet heard back.
