News you wish you didn't have to read but the headline is misleading. Son of Dem crashes & runs

Not exactly correct.

Cops: Dyer's son ran away after driving car into house, causing $20K in damage

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer's 17-year-old son ran away after driving into a College Park house and causing an estimated $20,000 in damage, according to a police report released Tuesday.

Drew Dyer crashed his mother's Infiniti into a home at the intersection of Gerda Terrace and New Hampshire Street after running a stop sign a little before 1 a.m. Sunday, the police report states.

Dyer said his son immediately notified the homeowner, handed over his contact information and then left.


"Teenage driving, I guess .... It's every parent's nightmare," Dyer said Tuesday morning at a brief news conference during which he said his son did everything right following the incident.
