TRAFALGAR, Ind. — A Trafalgar man was arrested for driving while intoxicated after a Sunday evening crash.
Robert Hasty, 65, drove through the stop sign at County Road 500W and turned left onto State Road 135. After turning, Hasty drifted into opposing traffic and almost caused a head-on collision. Hasty ran off the road and crashed near County Roads 450W and 650S, and then fled the scene.
Hasty’s daughter had been looking for him and came to the location of the accident while deputies were interviewing witnesses. The girl called her father and convinced him to return to the crash site. During the investigation, Hasty failed a field sobriety test and provided a breath sample that tested nearly twice the legal limit. Hasty was taken to the Johnson County Jail.
