Who crashes into 17 cars, and then puts on his four-way flashers? (Or is that a new automatic feature?)

I was just going to say, “At least they used their hazards!”

When I see that trail of sparks, it indicates to me that the tires are gone and the car is destroying its wheels.

Either that, or they’re dragging some metal debris from an earlier crash…

Agree. “The driver was drunk” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Drinking doesn’t cause sparks as far as I know.

I really want to watch more videos with this narrator.

He was sent to the hospital for minor injuries.

They’ve only sent him there to receive minor injuries; he’d best hope he isn’t treated by someone out of network.

I can be awkward when they finally come back.

Yes. The hazard lights come on when the airbags deploy. And if your mobile phone is paired with the system, or if the car has a data plan, it will also call 911.

(Source: a coworker who today mentioned his ex-wife got T-boned in the driver’s side door in an accident this weekend. She’s OK, as the side curtain airbags protected her; when the passenger side of the car hit the curb the passenger side airbags deployed as well. The car turned on the 4-way flashers and dialed 911. He said Mazda earned their five star crash rating.)

So now we know that hitting 16 cars is the max, before that happens.

Yeah, you’d think, and it does seem likely, but people also have heart attacks, strokes and other sudden physical episodes while at the wheel that can cause this kind of um, driving.
