drinking and driving like oil and water
 
well folks, I just felt I needed to share the tragedy that ended up in my front yard this past weekend. Unfortunately, this is yet another example of a bad combination, drinking and driving.

This literally happened in your front yard, or just in your area or something?? Was very lucky not to have killed anyone else - as harsh as it sounds - idiots like that need to be stopped somehow, and i dont feel the slightest bit of sorrow for him the way he ended up..... shame for his family tho.

So sad to see these things always happening, wish people would think before they do stuff like this.

very sad indeed. The first impact at about 70MPH was my neighbors tree which ripped the car almost completely in half. The car slid another 130 feet across the street, hit the lightpole, came up my yard hitting the rock retaining wall for my flowerbed, hit the tree, exploded and bounced off towards the road. It was reported to have been a 30 foot fireball. I couldn't confirm the fireball size because my neighbors and I were too busy assisting the sheriff deputy. The front half of the car was 90 degrees from the back half. The car was no more than 30 feet from my house, and without the tree there, he would have been in my house.

It's a rough way to go, but if it had to happen, like you said, at least he didn't take any innocents with him.

that scares me wathching the video its to bad people take there lives like that it definately scares me to see people like that
something similar to that happened at are school 3 years ago. there was 4 kids in a small dodge neon and the went flying down a back road at over 70 mph and lost control going around a tight corner and ran into a tree at an estimated speed of 75mph 2 of the kids died in the fiery crash one of the kids was a really good friend of mine :012::012: its to bad the way people drive especially when they live and take the lives of the innocents.

WOW! glad you and your family weren't hurt in that

coolhandcountry 02.01.2006 10:24 AM

I am glad no one else got hurt. It is crazy to see people do this all the time. It could have truned out much worse and much better.

boss 302 02.01.2006 05:03 PM

people should just stop when they see the cops or better yet not drink and drive

drink and drive is a absolute NOGO imo.. i had a sister who was injured for life by an a-holl like that.. crying shame that WAS is the right word here.

.....I could dwell on what could have happened to my wife and I, but the fact is it didn't...this time. In your case, I can only imagine. Sorry to hear Serum.

Good thing for that tree, otherwise it could have ended up in your living room. For once others were not hurt but someone elses stupidity. I feel bad for the loved ones he left behind, they are the ones who get hurt most in all of this. Just reminds us all of the choices we make every day and how life can be snatched away in the blink of an eye.

Basketti 02.02.2006 06:54 AM

So stupid and selfish! i dont know why people still do it? Its obvious its dangerous as! Your just risking ur life and others lives, its plain obvious its wrong!!

when i first read the title i was thinking, why would someone be drinking oil and water while driving LMAO, then i read it again.

coolhandcountry 02.02.2006 09:15 AM
