Every morning is usually a routine for me, but today I decided to take a different route. I didnt feel like taking main street, so I decided to take a back street and this street runs behind most of the car dealerships here in Carson. Ford, Toyota and Mazda (same owner) share a seperate lot where they keep all of the new inventory that wont fit on the lots. Well lone be hold, somebody went through the fence, took out three or more 08 F250s and hit a power line.

I attached an article that came out this morning. Makes me sick when I see things like this. Poor Fords. What the pictures dont show is that two or three cars down, there was a whole slew of 08 Tundras. Thank god none of those were hit.

If he drove he was definitely in a Tank. Or a Tundra.

I suspect drunk driving.

I still dont know how somebody could walk away from that let alone flee the scene.

They found the guys alright. And it was a Yukon that did all this damage.

Those perperators should be put away for a long time and made to pay off the damage costs!

I like how they run away even though their overturned Yukon is at the scene...Haha! Like they thought that it wouldn't be traced back to them! Dur dur duurrrr

The perps were found *AT* the hospital.. The sheriff's dept called the hospital and found them.

Well if they'd stolen it it would have been harder to trace to them. That is if they weren't wearing some fresh bandages and a nice cast down at the local ER.
So often these are kids joyriding in a stolen vehicle.
Which is why we have engine immobilizers -- makes it harder to steal.
Anyway these guys should pay the price.

So when these people are found at the hospital, and they do the blood work and all that, find that they are in fact drunk, can the police assume that they were driving under the influence? And then on top of that, throw on a 'hit and run' charge also?

If so, wouldnt just taking the DWI at the scene a better choice than running too?

Okay okay, assuming that they werent AND that it was their vehicle? Can the cops assume that they were driving drunk if they are later found at the hospital drunk? I guess thats what Im getting at...

I'm sure one of them will come clean.
