Drunk Driver Holds 12 Pack after Lake Forest Accident
Apr 13th, 2010 by ANorman
A Lake Forest car accident prompted authorities to arrest a 20-year-old man for suspicion of drunk driving after the motorist emerged from a crashed car holding a 12-pack of beer. Police arrived at the scene of the accident near Serrano Road and Lake Vista after a 911 call came in at around 12:18 a.m. The caller indicated that a 4-door black Nissan had crashed into a power box and stated that a few people had poured from the car with one of them holding a 12-pack. By the time cops had arrived, the occupants of the destroyed vehicle were trying to dislodge the car from the power box. Driver Robert Ghear of Lake Forest was then given a field sobriety test and subsequently taken to the Orange County jail where he was booked under suspicion of DUI.
Indeed, the Nissan driver and occupants should be thankful that the foolhardy decision to drink and drive did not result in all of their deaths–or cause a fatal crash that could have taken countless more lives. Sadly, every day the decision to drink and drive ends with just such a conclusion.
