“He hit a wall and is driving now. Still, it will be a white work truck,” a 911 dispatcher was heard saying over rangecast audio.

The suspected drunk driver, identified as 36-year-old Adolfo Serrano, was driving a Ford F-550 when, according to deputies, it was not going in a single lane and struck Chavis in the rear.
