MARIETTA, Georgia (AP) -- A drunken driver hit a telephone pole support wire that decapitated his passenger, police said.

He then drove 12 miles home and slept in his bloody clothes, police said, leaving the headless body in his truck.

Yeah, I saw that story a couple of days ago.

It even made the national news and an Australian news site.

Of course, it had to be Georgia. Heads will roll.

Still not quite as bad as this one:

Also, in March 2002 the Fort Worth Star-Telegram carried a bizarre story about an October 2001 accident in which a 25-year-old woman named Chante Mallard, who had been drinking and using the drug Ecstasy, struck 37-year-old Gregory Glenn Biggs as she was driving home. The impact shot Biggs over the hood headfirst and sent him through the windshield. Mallard continued home, parked the car in her garage, and lowered the door, leaving the still-alive Biggs trapped and bleeding on her car hood. She ignored his cries for help until he finally died (about two hours later, not days later as police initially maintained), then enlisted the help of several acquaintances to load his body into the car's trunk and dump it in a nearby park. In June 2003 Mallard was convicted of murder.

At least this guy couldn't have saved his friend after the accident.

We had one here a couple of years ago where a woman hit a homeless man and his head went through her window. Then she drove home, parked in the garage, and left him there while he slowly bled to death (or possibly died of dehydration) with his head in the window. They guess it took around three days.

The worst part is that she apparently kept coming into the garage to cry and apologize for hitting him, while he begged her to get help.

Gee, thanks, Dag. Steal my story from my own state right out from under me. Although I'm very glad to hear that they discovered it only took a couple of hours for him to die.

Usually I just flee from puns.

But that one, Icky, was exemplary. Kudos.

Ugh. I feel physically ill after reading about those 2 stories.

Literally.

The guy was hanging out the window to vomit, because he was drunk, too. The driver thought he had passed out, still hanging out the window. Drunk people don't think very clearly, I guess.

Olive! Welcome back to the Rack!

Although you picked an odd thread to debut under.

I was talking to my roomie and neither of us could imagine being so drunk as not to understand what had happened.

My first response (besides "EWWWW!") was, "Gee, didn't he notice that his friend had grown awfully quiet all of a sudden and that there was a lot of blood in the car?"

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
 
Yeah, no kidding.

I mean, I have been seriously drunk at points in my life, but not so far gone I wouldn't have realized my buddy was being unusually quiet.

And how can you not realize both you and the car are soaked in blood?
