Welp, we know it did not have the magnesium rims! Now that would have been a fire!

I have no patience for DWIs at all! I am grateful that no one got hurt seriously. If he was DWI (Innocent until proven guilty) he deserves the bumps on the head, loosing the car, and maybe even a fine or some time in The Crow-Bar-Hotel.

What and Idiot !!!

I'm glad that everyone survived the crash and a big thank you should go out the good samaritians that stopped and helped everyone out.

The woman that was in the vette should have known better than to ride with someone that is drunk and driving eratically. I'm glad she's going to be alright.

As for the driver of the vette, he needs to spend a few years in a jail cell to reflect on his stupity and ignorance. What does it take for people to wise up and just take a cab or stay in hotel overnight if you are out drinking.

Weird that two of the three drivers involved in the crash were drunk.

Hubert has two convictions related to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, records show
And this (if guilty) will make a third

In which case
The SOB has no business EVER being back in a drivers seat... PERIOD
If hes ever caught behind the wheel again .. should be legal to execute him on the spot.

I dont care if its a gocart at a local track he walked too.

it scares the living snot out of me that most folks treat drinking & driving as if it's an entitlement. as the phrase goes "impairment starts with the 1st drink". there is no excuse of any kind for drinking then driving. my bro in law works in a pa state liquor store; he frequently tells us "i never knew that there were that many alcoholics out there." very scary because they all drive. bub

Works for me. It looks like so far he hasn't killed anyone. That's only a matter of time. 3rd offense in a couple of years should be some serious jail time and rehab but some liberal judge will probably let him off with a wrist slap. Poor baby is a product of his upbringing - BLAH BLAH BLAH...
