SIOUX CITY – The Iowa State Patrol reports that an Iowa man was crushed early this morning in a drunk driving accident.
At about 1:00 AM Saturday morning in Sioux City, 43-year-old Davon Kieler was driving his 1995 Ford Ranger southbound on Lafayette Street when, according to a report, he somehow fell out the driver’s door and lost control of the vehicle. The open door struck a mailbox and then the pickup struck two parked cars. The driver’s side of the pickup sideswiped a parked vehicle, crushing Kieler in the door as it was forced shut during the sideswipe.
The report states that Kieler was the only occupant in the pickup and was under the influence of alcohol.

Why do people keep thinking drunk driving is a victimless crime? This time it was the driver himself– next time he could have had passengers, or hit a family or any other driver.
And, in North Iowa we have as much drunk driving as we have domestic assaults… it just has to stop!!!
@MaryBeth-I don’t think it will ever stop as long as it is about the money and that is what it is. Also, when they know they are going to get a suspended sentence and be back on the streets in a few days they have no reason to stop. Most don’t pay the fines and don’t care if they have a license or not. They will drive anyway because there is no penalty for breaking the law. Blame the judges. They turn them loose.
That’s why we do stories on these arrests/incidents. It is very dangerous out there on the roads.
