[Some news of the weird. These folks are very unlucky. What are the odds of a drunk driver being hit by a drunk driver? Not that likely, I'm thinking ]
Two suspected drunk drivers collide in Van Nuys By Corina Knoll Los Angeles Times January 23, 2010 | 11:39 am http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/01/two-suspected-drunk-drivers-crash-into-each-other-in-van-nuys.html At least three people were injured early this morning in Van Nuys after two suspected drunk drivers crashed into each other, authorities said. An eastbound car in the 13800 block of Sherman Way was in the process of making a U-turn when it was struck by an eastbound pickup truck, Los Angeles Police Officer James LaForce said. The car was pushed onto a curb, while the truck spun and pushed a parked sport utility vehicle onto a parked Ford Mustang. The driver and passenger of the truck ran away. However, the driver was quickly arrested by an officer responding to the scene of the crash, LaForce said. About an hour later, the passenger was found in the area attempting to kick in the door of a residence, police said. Both are men about 22 years old. The driver is under arrest for a felony hit-and-run and under investigation for a misdemeanor DUI. The driver of the car, a woman in her 20s, was injured and taken to a hospital. She is under investigation for a felony DUI. The two passengers in her car, a male and a female, both in their early 20s, were also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. "It was ugly," LaForce said of the crash scene. "They're lucky they're alive." ================================================= George Antunes Voice (713) 743-3923 Associate Professor Fax (713) 743-3927 Political Science Internet: antunes at uh dot edu University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-3011 *********************************** * POST TO [email protected] * *********************************** Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
