Drinking and Driving....

So I got woken up at about 12:30am when I heard a huge crash and a scream. I sleep with earplugs, so the source of the noise was not clear to me. I thought someone had broken in and was attacking my sister. I woke her up and she was sound a sleep. She thought I had had a nightmare, and told me to go back to bed. That's when we heard ambulances and police cars. So since we were up, we walked outside to see what was going on. There was an SUV flipped over in the middle of the street, and a couple of people lying on the street who were thrown out of their car (in heels and nightclub attire). Then, that's when I realize my car is parked on that street. Quickly I start looking too see where it's at. That's when I realize the car up on the grassy hill above the sidewalk that's totaled is MY CAR! (And I just put $50 into an oil change, fluid change, tune up two days ago). The driver took out several cars on the side of the street. One guy was just sitting in his car, listening to music and was hit and injured. Luckily no one was killed (just seriously injured), but as it turns out the driver was over 2x the legal limit!

So sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. Happy to hear that you were not injured and there were no fatalities.

It was Inertia's car, not Erich's. He would be furious if his car was hit!
