Driver in Winchester crash shot video shortly before he was killed

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Reckless driving has become the main topic of Memphis after the deadly Hickory Hill crash earlier this week.

The aftermath of the wreck on Sunday left three people killed and five injured.

One of the people who died in the wreck was 22-year-old Antione Hampton. According to police reports, Hampton caused the crash by driving aggressively, carelessly, and erratically.

A video posted on Facebook shows Hampton an hour and a half before the accident, recording cars spinning out in the street, doing donuts, and giving a thumbs down.

WREG reported about reckless driving crackdowns by Memphis Police with a big campaign and arrests just over Memorial Day weekend.

“All of a sudden cops come from several directions. They are flashing their sirens and everything like that and people just bug out,” one Memphis citizen said.

“They have confiscated vehicles,” said Mayor Paul Young. “They are making sure they are capturing those that are committing those acts, creating the chaos and wreaking havoc in our community.”

Now many are asking what else can be done to stop it.

Bennie Cobb, a retired Captain of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office thinks tougher, certain, severe, and swift consequences are needed.

“But there’s gonna have to be an immediate some kind of harsh punishment that sets the example from law enforcement for these violators, for the ones that are operating these missiles on Public Street,” said Cobb. “There’s gonna have to be some kind of urgency put to this where we’re calling in big guns.”

He says police need to use helicopters and drones to pinpoint where these things are happening, and they need to make it publicly known what happens to offenders.

Police are looking for witnesses from the deadly accident and others involved in the reckless driving.
