To be fair people can act in ways that makes no sense immediately after a crash. The adrenaline and shock makes you act stupid and some people default to "normal" behavior when they don't know what else to do.

However the husband who came to pick up the car was not in a crash and doesn't get a pass.

Also the most important component the age of the driver appears to be missing from the article.

A radio DJ got rear-ended in Los Angeles several years ago and the driver that hit him stayed in his car, kept the doors locked and windows up, and was drinking straight from a bottle of liquor. When the police showed up, they couldn't prove he had been drinking before the crash, since all the witnesses saw him chugging the bottle after the crash. He claimed the crash rattled his nerves so much he had to drink from "the sealed bottle he was bringing home".

Big shock: he was a lawyer.

Plot twist: he was a prosecutor
