Parents please help

All -

I have not been active on this forum for a few years now - long story. My post is not about me however. My wife and I were in a car accident recently - we were broad-sided by a 17 yr old boy driving over 90 mph on a residential street. We all escaped serious injury. Immediately after the accident a car load of the kid's friends pulled up - the kid driving the car that hit us threw a small bag into the car that had pulled up. While we were waiting for the cops and paramedics to arrive we found two used needles in the debris field. The kid who hit us had a body that was not consistent with a 17 yr old boy - if that makes sense. My wife and I were driving to the same gym that the kid was coming from - after I found the needles I asked the kid if he had been at the gym and he said he had. It is possible from all of the circumstantial evidence that the kid is using some type of illegal drug - I suspect some type of steroid. I am not making any judgements here regarding gear used by adults - however as a parent I feel compelled to at least discuss the circumstances and what I found at the scene with the boy's father who called me recently to apologize for his son's driving. The "evidence" in summary:

- We saw the driver toss a small bag into the car driven by his buddies. The bag looked like a shaving kit.
- We recovered two used needles at the scene of the accident.
- The kid had the body of an adult body builder
- The kid was driving over 100 mph on a side street where the speed limit is 35 mph

Am I over reacting? If it were your son would you want me to call you to at least make you aware of what I found?

Thank you for any advise on this -

EDIT: The driver's car was going 90 mph when he hit us - he was driving over 100 mph prior to that. The skid marks confirmed the rates of speed. Just did not want to sound inconsistent with the facts.

My opinion is the parents of this kid probably already know. My son is 16 and if he had the body of an adult bodybuilder, I would know if he was using or not.
Sorry about the accident though and with that kid going so fast it's amazing there were no injuries. Glad you and your wife and that kid didn't get hurt.
