I was on my way to Xavier's this morning at about 8:45am to buy/install some brakes and the freeway was pretty empty. Right before the 10 reaches the 110 I saw an older dark gray BMW driving really fast getting up behind me. I was doing a constant 75ish and he then switched to the right lane and was like 2 cars behind me since there was also a car parallel right of me. Eventually he got in front of me about 50 or so feet and right when the 110 ramp splits off from the 10 the driver scrapes the 2 foot tall separator thing and then oversteered and then steered left again and slammed almost head on into the wall and then slowly swurved to the right side. It was kinda like the mustang crash that was on video which happened last week at the dale.
He was obviously so drunk and he even tried to drive off but his front end and wheels were all fucked. Everyone just slowed down and I had to brake pretty hard cause it happened right in front of me. I looked in the car and you see him just sitting upright just starring at nothing.
I was gonna call the police or pullover and help him but he was obviously so drunk so I hoped he fucked by the police instead.

I woulda stopped to make sure he was ok but that was just me. Like they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

haha drunk driving. :no:
People need to learn to not get behind the wheel when they are intoxicated.
Hope he gets raped!
:look:
Pretty crazy shit Brandon! Janurary of last year, my wife, daughter, mother in law and I witnessed this kid (found out he was only 19years old after giving my witness statement over the phone) drive his Cobalt SS into the 60fwy East/west split (onramp from the south 710fwy), then fly OVER the divider and fall all the way down into the Cal Trans yard off of 3rd St. in East LA, exploding into a ball of flames! No THAT was some crazy shit!!! I had made a thread aboit it and had even posted up a few pics that I had taken! ....but that's all gone now :sad:

DAMN LXS that sounds like crazy shit...
I would have pulled over and checked on him except like I said he was right in front of me and he hit the separator for the 110/10 (we were both going 10) so I was on the left most lane....his car ended up on the rightmost lane and all the cars stopped parallel to me so I couldn't pulled over

Sucks... but no way would I have pulled over to check on his ass.
With my luck someone would come in behind us and slam into my shit taking me out. :no:
Most I woulda done was pulled off to the side a little ways past him and made a call to CHP. Fu ck 'em.

Yeah expecially since this happened right on the split for the 10/110 and the road like curves so people a bit further back couldn't really see us until you are into the curve
He was ok though I knew that....cause he was like sitting up trying to drive the car off

You did the right thing mang, by driving beyond the crash site. No reason to cause more accidents. And BTW, if any of you do stop, be prepared for the inevitable stupid accusations that you MIGHT of had something to do with the asshole's crash. Drunks are not rational by nature.
-Cell call to CHP should be your limit of involvement. Fighting street racing accusations are FTL !! Nothing is harder to prove than your innocence. Its sad, but too F'nn true.

I don't think I'da tried to help him (what could be done?), but I sure would have called 911 with his plate numbers and location.
