Oh’ Ryan Brooks, 27, faces DUI and reckless driving-related charges after the crash on Oct. 3.

Brooks was driving a white SUV near Owens Avenue and 21st Street when police said he struck a child at 7:39 a.m. and then failed to remain at the scene of the crash.

The crash occurred between two active flashing yellow school zone lights. Officers said they located the child, who was bleeding from the legs and head and unresponsive on the sidewalk east of the intersection, according to a police arrest report.

Brooks was located at an apartment complex, where officers reviewed video surveillance of him parking his vehicle, just five minutes after the crash took place.

In the surveillance video, police said Brooks was seen getting out of the vehicle and inspecting the front of it, and then walking away. Then at 7:47 a.m. Brooks was seen on surveillance video returning to the vehicle with a female to further examine the damage before walking away again.

The vehicle had major right front damage, following the crash, the report stated.

When officers located Brooks at the complex, he stated that he was the driver involved in the crash and that he and the woman had returned home because they received a text from a child at home that said “the officers were outside trying to get in,” according to the arrest report.

Brooks then went on to tell police he did not know what he had hit and that the sun was in his eyes when he heard a loud bang. He later told police he thought “another car came out of nowhere” and caused a crash, according to the arrest report. He then claimed he returned to the scene of the crash, but didn’t see any police, the report stated.

Brooks told police he had just returned from taking two children to school and was on his way to pick up the next group of kids, as he helped a woman who had eight kids each day with school drop-off, according to the report.

He also told officers he had inhaled THC from a vape pen between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. as he was getting the children ready and again shortly before the officer arrived at the complex, because “he knew he was going to jail,” according to the report.

Officers also learned that minutes after the crash, the woman with Brooks had contacted a mechanic to examine the damage to the vehicle and to request repairs, according to the report.

During the field sobriety test, officers stated that Brooks was slurring his words, and during the walk and turn portion of the test, he was unable to maintain his balance during the instruction phase and “nearly fell over and was caught by another officer.” He then regained his balance and took eight steps, and almost fell again. Due to safety concerns, the officer stopped the test, according to the arrest report.

During the investigation, police determined that Brooks failed to stop and remain at the scene of the crash and made no attempts to contact police.

Brooks appeared in court on Saturday for his initial appearance and is scheduled to reappear on Tuesday, where he may face additional charges.
