Also, please adhere to the rules of punctuation at least minimally as it is very, very difficult to understand your post otherwise.

What damage was caused by this unfortunate, turned irresponsible incident? Any property damage or personal injuries resulting from this flipping car?

Why did you decide to run from the scene of the accident? Were you under the influence?

If you weren't breaking any laws when this incident happened, I don't understand why you would consider leaving the scene of an accident.

If you're posting your question here hoping to discover a way to avoid prosecution or exonerate yourself from being held liable for damages which were the result of you're operation of this motor vehicle, you're not going to like the replies you will receive.

However, it does sound as if the police have enough evidence to issue you a citation for leaving the scene of an accident and for having the wrong plates on the car. That's just for starters. Then it becomes a matter of routine to determine if you were licensed, insured and legally operating this vehicle.

To me it sounds like the police have two witnesses, the one who saw you flip the car and also the one who sold it to you. If each witness picks you're picture out as being the involved party, then you're going to have a hell of a time convincing anyone with half a brain that you weren't involved. Because of course, YOU WERE!

So do you think the person who sold you this vehicle should be the one who is held accountable for you're actions?

I suggest you face the music as to hide from it is only postponing the inevitable.

Are you saying that the name of your state is Nebraska?

Please, for the benefit of your fellow man, go to the PD and advise them of your actions. That way, you can have your parole violated, tack on some time for the DUS and traffic cites, spend a couple years in the can and...heres the best part....POSSIBLEY SPARE AN INNOCENT PERSON'S LIFE!

You have no license, are out driving drunk, operating so recklessly that you flip the car on a residential street. Thank God you didn't kill someone. The warant will be issued, I'd bet the farm on it.
