I spent a couple years killing time dispatching tow truck drivers.
Well the police were arresting a drunk driver so one of my drivers was on hand to hook up and tow the car to impound.. Two Patrol cars plus the Truck, all with overhead flashing lights active. and WHAM.. Driver is going hospital with injuries as teh drunk #2 slammed into the tow truck.
A trooper (Two of them) I worked with.. Same story basically.
I read a stat that 1 in 50 drivers are drunk. You reminded me of a similar story that happened in Pennsylvania decades ago. A tow truck driver was hooking up a disabled car, and was between the two vehicles when a drunk slammed into the disabled vehicle killing/crushing the tow truck driver between the two. I knew that drunk. He got off with a slap to the wrist. It was a different era back then.
