Despite physical evidence on the scene (tire marks and scrapes on the pavement), several eyewitnesses, and the clear danger presented to several people &#8212; including several young children &#8212; when the vehicle lost control before swerving back on the road, there seemed to be little interest from Raleigh police to even question the driver.
