A pickup crashed early this weekend after a passenger vomited and fell out of the truck. According to authorities, 2 people fell out of a pickup truck side door after a passenger got sick and fell out of a passenger door held shut by bailing wire.
A second person fell out of the pickup when trying to assist the sick passenger.
After the passengers fell out of the pickup truck, the truck then struck a concrete wall. The passengers were transported to the hospital for treatment of injuries and the driver of the pickup was arrested for driving under the influence.
The truck driver walked away uninjured and was the only one wearing a seatbelt.
Authorities report that cause of the truck accident as impairment by alcohol.
This story while entertaining to read could have been much worse; passengers are killed frequently in drunk driving accidents. If you value your safety do not ride with the drinking driver.
If you are going out on the town and may drink, please select a designated driver to help ensure your return home safely.
