Crash! Boom! Bang!


"Not last night, but the night before, one really drunk guy, came driving by our door. As we ran out, he raced away, but he totaled eight cars along the way!"

Okay, I know it's a silly song. But you know me... I never do anything the ordinary way--IF I can avoid it. ;-) Anyway, this really happened at our house the night before last--just like the song says. And when the "dust" settled, there were eight family's left without cars to drive to work the next morning. The cops caught the guy, but because no one was injured, they said he'd be out on the street in three hours !  

Only in America... *sigh*

HOW in the world did he keep driving??? That is totally crazy!

"No one was injured" included the drunk, I suppose...

Kathy,
I have no idea. He was in an old beat up Ford van WITH a flat tire on the right front! He took out the first two cars and then one of my neighbors went after him. When the drunk realized it, he really took off, taking out cars all the way down the street. Then he cut down the alley behind our house and back out on the main street. Then he tried to make a left turn and almost ran into the house on that corner! After crashing into the last car,and realizing he had driven down a dead end street--He left his van and ran--back across the main street--almost getting hit by a car, before the cops finally nailed him. It WAS crazy!
