ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- A man who left an accident scene was tracked down with the help of some cheerleaders who witnessed the crash and turned his license plate number into a cheer, police said.

Members of the Lincoln High School varsity cheerleading squad from neighboring Ypsilanti were in Ann Arbor for a Universal Cheerleaders Association's camp when they saw the wreck near the University of Michigan campus.

"I knew I was going to not remember it because there was too much going on," coach Patricia Clark said Monday on NBC's "Today." "So, when I ran down the street and got the plate number, I yelled to the girls: 'Remember this!'"

The cheerleaders put their skills to work, chanting the license number.

I know. This one cracked me up! I could just picture them in their little outfits, reporting the license number with shakes of the pom-poms. :-D

Could you see them giving a description to the police?

"Six foot two--eyes green or blue"
"His hair is blond and and we don't mean you!"
"Yea, Team!"
