Action because the perp managed to slink away -- even though the car rolled off on a front tire flattened by hurtling over a granite curb and hitting a proverbial brick wall.
Anyone who was out late Friday night knows how busy it was (mostly with college aged youths dressed up in Halloween costumes), even after the midnight hour, so I would image there were still a few pedestrians staggering home around 2:33 AM when the drunk driver lost control of his vehicle and slammed into the side of a brick building on Main Street.
After the crash two occupants tumbled out and were picked up and driven back to 675 Main Street by a person they had met earlier at a party on Hobart Lane. Soon thereafter, someone from that Main Street address called authorities requesting medical attention for two college aged youths who had been "car crash victims".
Hmm...
Hobart Lane, a
party house on lower Main Street and a drunk driver ... doesn't it all just fit? Fortunately the only thing missing is a coroner's sheet.
You got away this time pal, and you probably have driven drunk all too many times before. But your time is coming. I just hope it happens
before you kill someone.
