Hell... if they are happy to snatch my ass up and toss me in jail for having a suspended license (actually happened), then they would be more than please to snatch me up a dude that cause a 6 car wreck with injuries then ****ing bailed.

If your position is 'we'd have been brought in and booked' perhaps. Though again - no charges have been filed and no, this would not be super high on any prosecutors radar for a rank and file citizen. Even that would take at least as much time as has passed thus far.
But you seem to be suggesting that they'd have a regular dude sitting in the pokey until his arraignment. That's just highly unlikely. And doubly so if it's someone who has a family/job/presence in a community and thus aren't likely to skip town. You don't have to be a millionaire athlete - just show that you have ties to the area.
People are picked up, booked and sent on their way with notice of a court date on FELONIES all the time.
