🚨ARREST UPDATE: More details re: Dalton Brooks, a football player for Texas A&M University, and his hit-and-run arrest by College Station police.
The incident happened on the night of Wednesday, June 25. Police say Brooks was driving a U-Haul box truck and collided with another vehicle in the intersection of Harvey Road at Highway 6.
The report says Brooks told police he briefly stopped after the crash, looked in the mirror, saw the driver of the other vehicle wasn't seriously hurt, and then "proceeded to panic" and drove away.
Witnesses followed Brooks and called 911, and stayed behind the U-Haul until police arrived and stopped it. Brooks said he was trying to return the U-Haul to the business.
The report says there was significant damage to the U-Haul truck, including the driver's side headlight removed and hanging by wires and the bumper was dented, and both the front driver and passener airbag was deployed.
The car he allegedly hit also had significant damage. The vehicle was declared a total loss with the cost being $19,191, said the report.
Police said nearby cameras captured the crash on camera, and it shows Brooks leaving the scene of the wreck after it happened.
Brooks is expected to be a key contributor in the Aggies' secondary this season after playing in all 13 games while making eight starts as a sophomore in 2024, finishing second on the team with 59 tackles and ranking in the top five with 5.5 tackles for loss. He posted a career-high 10 tackles in the regular-season finale against Texas and recorded at least five stops in six different games. Brooks also had one interception.
Oh, silly aggy.
