Wellington car accident witness speaks out

WELLINGTON, Fla. -- It has been five days since a recent college graduate was killed when his car was broadsided at a Wellington intersection and careened into a lake. 

And while Palm Beach County Sheriff's Officials agree that the investigation takes time, some say there has been a glaring oversight.  An alleged witness says no one wanted to talk to him.

He wants his identity concealed, but his story told. 

The young man says he and a friend were driving home in the early morning hours of February 12th. "We saw what we thought was a parked car right here with all the lights on," he says.

But, they knew something just wasn't right.

 "I drove through all the debris at the intersection and we pulled up and we saw a Bentley," he says.

He says they called 911 and told the dispatcher that  there had been a horrible accident at the intersection of 120th Avenue South and Lake Worth Road,  in Wellington.

"After we got off the phone the first time, we saw a car completely submerged in the canal, except for the black tires," he adds.

"We asked the dispatcher if we should jump in and see if there was anyone to try and save, and they told us not to jump in," says the 20-year old. 

The men saw two vehicles, a badly damaged black Bentley with the air bags deployed and Scott Wilson's Hyundai at the bottom of a canal.

The 911 calls haven't been released at this point, but the callers say, when they are,  you will clearly hear them telling the dispatcher that the driver of the Bentley is nowhere to be found. Investigators later said Polo Club founder John B. Goodman was driving the Bentley.

'We were here until 2:15 in the morning and he was nowhere in sight," he says.

When authorities arrived on the scene, the situation got even stranger he says. 

"I think it's odd that they never took a statement from us and they never asked us what we did and they just told us to leave," he explains.

He says he told Scott's family what he knows.

"Some people think because of their place in society they can break rules and run stop signs and something tragic happened," he adds.

Officials with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office say it's an ongoing investigation and they can't confirm or deny who called 911.  

Each day that the witness drives by the scene, he thinks about the life of 23-year-old Scott Wilson and wonders if he could have been saved and when justice will be served.
