Drunk driver situation

Yesterday, a drunk driver crashed into a tree right in front of me in the Huning Castle area. He got out of the car, behaved strangely and smelled strongly of alcohol. I called 911 and the cops arrived within 40 minutes. The driver of course escaped. I'm from New Jersey, and I was wondering if this is normal police work for Albuquerque? Drunk drivers are a serious problem and our cops are there before you even finish talking to the 911 dispatcher.
