This may not be as far fetched as you might think. On New Year's Day, I
watched (with horror) a drunk on (classic content) a Scwinn Varsity blow
through a stop-sign and T-bone a semi loaded with toilet paper!
He was so drunk, that all he suffered was a little "road rash". The bike was
totalled, and he received tickets for drunk driving and reckless
endangerment. The driver of the semi was a wreck. His truck was basically
undamaged, but he thought he had killed someone and had to be driven home.
Since it happened right in front of my office and I had told the cops what I
had seen, they asked me to "toss that bike in the recycling bin" which I
did, AFTER removing the few components that weren't destroyed! :)
