LUCKY OR UNLUCKY? LET'S CALL IT A WASH
Like two booze-cruise ships not quite passing in the night, two cars helmed by drunk drivers slammed head-on into each other in Suffolk County early this morning.
Police said their cars were traveling in opposite directions in the same lane of traffic on North Ocean Avenue in Selden when they slammed into each other head-on.
Suffolk County police said the drivers have been charged with driving while intoxicated. One of the drivers suffered serious internal injuries and a broken thigh bone. One driver is hospitalized, and the other is in police custody awaiting arraignment.
So this was like a theoretical physics problem involving immoveable stupidity and unstoppable irresponsibility. I'm glad no one was killed, although I can't say the one driver in the hospital is likely to keep me awake nights with worry. I'm sure at least one of these two drivers is thinking "Jeez, can't a guy drive drunk in the right direction without some drunker jerk going the wrong way slamming into him? Learn how to drive drunk for Chrissakes!"
