Drone finds drunk driver who crashed into two cars, police said

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – An Evansville man is accused of drunkenly crashing into two vehicles and then fleeing the scene.

Police say it happened just before 3 a.m. Saturday at Columbia and Heidelbach.

Cory Littlepage, 39, is said to have been in the wrong lane when he hit a truck and then a van with two people inside.

They were not injured.

Police say they knew it was Littlepage because of the license plate on his car.

Police say they used a drone to catch Littlepage hiding a few blocks away.

Officers say he told them, “I’m angry.”

Littlepage was taken to the hospital, where police say he yelled and cursed in front of several other patients, including a child.

They say he was unable to sit on his own and made several threatening statements to officers.

His charges include intimidation, disorderly conduct, leaving the scene of an accident, resisting law enforcement and driving while intoxicated.
