Angry Stupid Drunk Drivers!

The other night around 2AM a guy driving a Silverado plowed into my sister's Explorer. He was drunk and had mary jane and crack in his system at the the time of the accident. He ran a stop sign and a red light, then broadsided my sisters car going ~50MPH... then hit a small tree. Both vehicles totalled. The guy might actually be on this board... he had some custom painted pieces and dumped exhaust.
My sisters friend broke her ankle and is very lucky they were in an SUV... if it was a small car, the bumper would have hit her in the head instead of the leg. For once I am glad she had a Ford, it saved her life.

First page is my sisters Explorer, 2nd page is the guys Silverado. Check out the last picture... pieces of the tree stuck in his frame.

Drunks suck. Druggies are worse.

Hate to hear about your sister, but it's good to know she's ok. Hoepfully this guy isn't on the boards .. I like to think most of the guys on here are better than that.
