You can’t even run from the police without the drunks hitting you.
HMMMMMMMMM eluding driver hits auto driven by drunk driver, drunk is arrested for OWI and prolly will be charged for manslaughter. No one wins in this deal. What a sad ending to both guys just out prolly having a little too much fun.
