Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2007Purrs for my Nephew, Alex
Driver Hits Man, Crashes Into House Last Edited: Monday, 18 Jun 2007, 5:37 PM CDT Created: Monday, 18 Jun 2007, 5:37 PM CDT --- MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WHBQ FOX13 myfoxmemphis.com)- Police are investigating a hit and run on Germantown Road. They say a 24-year-old man, who was riding a bike on the sidewalk, was run over by a truck. The driver didn't stop until he crashed into a house. ************************************************* The victim on the bicycle is my nephew, Alex. Just got a phone call with my brother, Paul (his father). This guy just drove up off the street onto the curb, ran over my nephew and then plowed into a house. The driver is on his third DUI and was driving without a license. Alex was admitted to the trauma unit at the Regional Medical Center in downtown Memphis. I called. He has multiple broken bones. They haven't determined whether or not he has any internal injuries; they say there is no obvious internal bleeding yet. They don't know whether or not surgery (other than to reset the broken bones) may be required. They moved him from the trauma area to ICU and are monitoring his condition. Purrs for my 24 year old nephew, please. He may be a young fool when it comes to job stuff but he certainly didn't deserve this.

(Unless they put him in jail, this time?) He's already had his license revoked after too many DUI's - apparently that didn't phase him. (And you can bet he doesn't have liability insurance, either, even though most states now require it for auto registration.) >>> Purrs for my 24 year old nephew, please.

If you are going to drive drunk without a license or insurance, why let a little thing like registration bother you? Although it seems this particular drunk is now without wheels. We had a "typical" drunk driving accident locally a few months ago. With worse than usual results. A family of six was killed in the accident caused by a drunk driver. The family was in a van that was hit and run off the road into a tree. The 23 year old driver of the other vehicle had several prior drunk driving incidents and was driving a car belonging to his passenger. They were both unhurt. But at his trial his friends insist he's really a nice guy when he's not drinking. Jo >>>>Purrs for my 24 year old nephew, please.

This touches a fear since I have two young men just starting to make their way in a world that isn't safe. Especially with the 17 year old, I'm all too familiar with the "I want to kill him/may God and Angels protect him" feeling. I hope he will heal quickly and without too much pain. That there is no hidden damage. I know the fool with no license had no insurance. I hope he has other means of paying for the damage he has caused.

There have been several here, and I've seen them on the news about other cities, too. Drunk or not, I should think a HOUSE would be pretty hard to hit unless you were AIMING at it!!!! True, there was the elderly man in Santa Monica CA who got confused and hit the accelerator instead of the brake when approaching a street market, but in most cases, even drunk, how can you run head-on into a HOUSE? (They aren't likely to suddenly move into your lane - even when they're being moved, they don't travel very fast, and these have all been sitting on their own lots, minding their own business!):-) > What IS it with all the drivers plowing into houses, lately? > There have been several here, and I've seen them on the > news about other cities, too.

We had a pretty dramatic one a few miles from here: hotel destroyed in a car crash... http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=2235682005 I don't think there was enough left of the driver to tell how drunk he might have been. Darwin Award material, anyway.

The dented someones fender in a parking lot on Sunday and simply drove off. Someone got their license plate number and they got a phone call from the local constabulary on Monday morning saying come in, we need to talk. I have NO idea why they just drove away. Dad was having one of his more lucid moments when he told me about this and I said, "Tsk Tsk, you KNOW better!" and I swear I could see him hanging his head in shame through the phone line. They don't know why they just didn't stay there. It's not like they don't have insurance. Jill > I hate to say it but my parents have been charged (fined) $400 with > leaving [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Jill They didn't stay because they are reaching an age when their worst fear is losing the right to drive. The fear becomes almost a phobia and can override reason. The dent wasn't the big deal. Staying put and being faced with young strong healthy authority figures was. I really hope this was just a minor glitch on their part and not any sign of something more serious.
