This story seems very similar to a crash that our Chicago DUI lawyers recall hearing about in Chappaquiddick involving Senator Ted Kennedy some years prior.

Suspected drunk driver flees crash, leaves girlfriend trapped in waist-deep water

Virginia Beach police arrested a man they say crashed his car while driving drunk.

Investigators say 23-year-old Michael Walck drove his car into a watery ditch on Sandbridge Road early Friday morning.

Police say Walck’s girlfriend was trapped in the car in waist-deep water.

Investigators say he walked off after the accident, leaving her inside.

Rescuers were able to cut the woman free from the car and she was flown to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

Police say they’re charging Walck with DUI and felony hit and run.

Hopefully this works out as well for Walck as it did for Senator Kennedy.
