iPhone crash alert leads to arrest in Florida hit‑and‑run

A Lee County man, Christopher Brewer, is charged with hit-and-run after his Tesla crashed into a light pole and two trees in the Miromar Lakes community, causing about $20,000 in damage. Deputies arrived to find the debris cleaned up and Brewer missing; the incident was first detected when his iPhone’s crash-detection feature automatically dialed 911, prompting investigators to locate him at another residence. Authorities say he did not go to the hospital as claimed and arrested him based on the auto‑call and subsequent investigation.
