According to the complaint, investigators identified the driver of the Nissan as Dickerson. He left the scene before the police arrived.

Surveillance video from a nearby school showed Robbins’ and Dickerson’s vehicles heading west on Brown Deer Road, both speeding, according to the complaint. Robbins attempted to cross into Dickerson’s lane, where the two vehicles collided. Robbins’ vehicle left the roadway while Dickerson’s vehicle slowed to a stop.

Dickerson was taken into custody later that night. The complaint states he admitted he did not have a valid driver’s license but claimed he did not know his privileges had been revoked. As for the crash itself, he said he remembered the white Jeep accelerating and changing lanes before the crash, but he thought he lost consciousness for about a minute.

Dickerson also told police that firefighters treated him at the scene and he left. He said police did not respond for about an hour after the crash.
