Max,
I enjoyed this; thank you for posting. I could easily put myself in the shoes of the main personage who hears a distant car crash in the city and reflects on the driver's fate. I have no nits, except that I think it might benefit from more concision. To that end, I reckon it might be worth a go in tetrameter, e.g.:
While walking late at night he hears,
blocks distant, hidden by the city,
a squeal, then a pop. No shattered glass.
One car. Into a tree? A pole?
The alley dumpster by the bars? ...
Take or leave. That’s all I got.
Best,
Erik

P.S. Circling back to add that I wonder if the poem would be more direct in the first person?
