Both drivers in two-car accident were driving drunk

http://cdapress.com/news/local_news/article_cea69878-1512-56b6-a39e-2ef7f5e4dba2.html

A couple days ago we had a non-fatality two-car accident...after field sobriety tests, both drivers were booked for DWI.

I guess if you're gonna drive drunk and run into someone, it's best if the person you hit is also driving drunk. Call it karma.

Around here, they like to drive onto off ramps and go the wrong way down the interstate with their speedometers pinned and wipe out vans full of sober extended families.

The drunk always lives through it, too, the same way the two in your article did.
