Right in my own backyard, although I don’t know who the bigger idiot is.
CASTLE CREEK, N.Y. (AP) — A New York man who says he lost a close friend to a drunken driver — and didn’t want to see it happen to anyone else — used his car to block a tractor-trailer from pulling onto a highway because he thought the trucker was drunk.
Michael Scanlon’s vehicle wound up being rammed by the truck.
In my own backyard, although I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot…
State police said Scanlon saw the truck hit the overhead canopy at a gas station Wednesday north of Binghamton, N.Y. The father of four followed the truck and blocked its path as it tried to get on Interstate 81 (search).
A short time after the truck rammed Scanlon’s car, troopers arrived and arrested the trucker. The Canadian truck driver was charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving.
