Lee County Man Charged With Hit-and-Run After iPhone Auto-Dial 911
Christopher Brewer, a resident of Lee County, Florida, has been charged with hit-and-run following a crash involving his Tesla. The incident occurred Sunday night in the Miromar Lakes community, where Brewer allegedly struck a light pole and two trees, resulting in approximately $20,000 in damage. Deputies were alerted to the collision not by a human caller, but by an automated 911 notification triggered by the crash detection feature on Brewer’s iPhone. Upon arrival, officers found the debris had already been cleared and Brewer was absent from the scene. Although Brewer and an associate told security personnel he was heading to the hospital, deputies later confirmed through a woman that he was actually at her residence. Brewer faces a single charge of hit-and-run.
