Why not closer Rio PD? Ten minutes for FePD to get there. On the other hand, could’ve just left the guy alone and somebody would pull him out of the ditch and he’d be down the road in ten minutes but Karens will be Karens
Knuckle draggers going to drag knuckles!
Just another drunk jackass that is putting people’s lives in danger. I hope it costs him a bundle to get the truck fixed!
I’ll drink to that! ?
But after you drink to my comment please don’t drive. Just joking. You won’t get drunk on that tiny glass of beer.
The driver could have had a stroke or seizure.
Or spilled his drink and was distracted…

That’s common on our rural roads. Pop a beer as they leave town, I had a guy out 36 doing 40 in a 55 throw his emptys out the window at me. I think he felt I was tailgating, he pulled over and let me by but pretty funny. Not to many chp once you leave the 101. Unless there’s a wreck.
I think the trick is light beer. They can drink it all day and barely get a buzz. It doesn’t work at all if you like a porter or stout .
