21-year-old crashes with expensive sports car and committing hit and run
Apparently the 21 yr old kid that drove the car was drunk. He drove away and left the heavy injured 50 yr old lady for dead in her Seat Ibiza.
The kid hid his car somewhere and told the police that his R8 was stolen. Later he told the police that he was being followed by carjackers.

21-year-old crashes with expensive sports car and committing hit and run
BORNEM / TEMSE - With its exclusive sports car, an expensive light-orange Audi R8, a drunken young man (21) from Bornem high speed hit another car. The driver of that car were seriously injured, but the young speed demon committed hit and run. Even more, he hid his car and devised an incredible story about a carjacking. The young man was arrested and will appear today for the pantry.
A gift from his father was. An expensive Audi R8 sports car, light-colored in orange showing the classic Gulf logo and personalized license plates. A car that in Belgium there is only one drive.
Most car enthusiasts there can only dream of. But not the 21-year-old Benjamin DC from Bornem: nearly two years he drove merrily with its exclusive car.
Blow
The least you can say is that he was very proud of. The video website YouTube the bursting of the films in which the young driver demonstrates fun - including the Lippenslaan in Knokke - "What a wonderful noise" are roaring engine and how fast he can pull it. It seems a miracle that he never had a serious accident caused when you see him on one of the movies in the dark with a rotvaart see tearing in a bend where you do not see oncoming traffic coming.
On the night of Monday to Tuesday it was seriously wrong. Benjamin DC came back around midnight from a dinner at a restaurant with some friends. He had a few glasses of wine drunk, but wanted to drive himself back home. On the E17 in Temse went wrong, however, when he was at high speed crashed into the back of a Seat Ibiza. The blow was the Seat on the hard tire. The manageress Sat wedged in the wreck, the emergency services could free her. The 50-year-old woman was in serious injuries, mainly fractures, to the hospital in Sint-Niklaas charged. She is the eye of the needle updated, because after she was freed, and flew the wreck of her car on fire.
Unbelievable story
In support of Benjamin DC, she had in any case not count because he was with his Audi R8 - without stopping - drove. At the next station in Sint-Niklaas, he called in panic to his father, who was sleeping at home. Not to say that he had caused an accident and upward flight offense was committed, or for him to lie that he was the victim of a carjacking had become.
His parents immediately jumped in the car for their son to pick up. Meanwhile, they called the police stating that their son's car was stolen. But once Benjamin DC home fell by the wayside pretty quickly. The officers explained the link with the accident in Temse. And it was also clear that the young man had been drinking. "There were enough elements which indicated that his story was fabricated to the accident with hit and run to hide," says Caroline Jonckers of Dendermonde parquet.
Benjamin DC was taken to the police for further interrogation. The police, meanwhile, looking for the 'gecarjackte' car. Agents searched the home of the family in Bornem, and the shed his father's company in Puurs, where Benjamin works as a carpenter for five years. The Audi R8 was blocked eventually found a car wash not far from the gas station where he phoned his parents.
Confused statements
The young man was brought before the investigating judge in Dendermonde, who decided to keep him. Because he was drunk behind the wheel, his driving license revoked for fifteen days. True confessions about the hit and run and put the fictional Benjamin DC however not yet complete. "He's giving confused explanations, but ultimately my client claims that he was being chased by potential carjackers. He has a maneuver performed while the car hit the woman. But he did not know she was such a bad way. The car has he hidden in a panic because of the hit and run, "said lawyer Tim Smet.
Today the chambre de conseil Benjamin DC or longer in the cell must remain. His lawyers and his parents ask him especially to be honest about what happened.
The Audi R8 was confiscated.
