LOS GATOS — Authorities on Friday arrested a suspect in a Los Gatos hit-and-run after footage of the crash went viral.

The victim, who asked to be identified only as John, and his 5-year-old son were driving on Blossom Hill Road about 5:20 p.m. Thursday when a Ford F-150 zoomed up behind their new Tesla Model X. Cameras on the Tesla recorded the truck cross the double-yellow line, sideswipe the electric vehicle and nearly lose control before speeding away.

John uploaded the footage to Twitter and YouTube, where it was viewed thousands of times.

In a news release Friday, Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police said they received a tip from someone who watched the footage that led them to an address in the 300 block of Shamrock Drive in Campbell, where the suspect vehicle and suspect were located. Dennis Munns, 32, of San Jose, was cited and released for hit-and-run and reckless driving.

John said he was “very happy that justice was served and hopefully this will be a wide awakening to folks driving without having an intent to stop after they hit someone especially in a Tesla.”

“It’s crazy that because of social media he was caught but otherwise he would have gotten off especially if I was not in the Tesla,” he said.
