A drunken driver hit a telephone pole support wire that decapitated his passenger, then drove 12 miles home and slept in his bloody clothes, leaving the headless body in his truck, police said.

A neighbor walking with his young daughter Sunday morning discovered Daniel Brohm's headless corpse in the truck in John Kemper Hutcherson's driveway and called authorities, said Cpl. Dana Pierce, county police spokesman.

Officers found Hutcherson asleep inside his home. He was visibly drunk and his clothes were bloody, authorities said. They later found Brohm's severed head at the crash site.

"It's hard for one to imagine that you would drive miles from a crash site to your home, turning in various directions, and yet not know what has happened to a passenger sitting next to you," Pierce said.

1. I saw that earlier today. I was absolutely amazed. How drunk would

someone have to be to either not know it happened, or even to drive with a headless corpse hanging out of the truck? And what were they drinking, rocket fuel?

2. Didn't that happen...

once before with someone driving home with the body in the windshield? Or was that a plot to a movie/TV show?

It sounds like the episode of Twilight Zone where the car is the conscience.

3. That was a nurse who ran over a man

And let him die slowly in her garage, impaled on broken glass.

4. I knew there was something ...

that sounded familiar.

Nothing new under the sun, hey.

5. It was a TV show as well

I believe either Law & Order or CSI did episodes based on the news story.
