That call you hate to get in the middle of the night...

[Tamalewagon]

"Dad, I've been in a bad accident and I'm hurt." DUI driver smashed into my son in North Phoenix last night as he was coming home from his girlfriends house. I'm just happy he wasn't gravely injured. The girl that hit him had an estimated speed of 150mph according to the CHP. Even though it's small, the little Toyota Corolla did its job. She was arrested trying to escape on two wheels and a broken axle a half mile down the freeway.

 

[ltbaney1]

holy hell, im glad your boy is good. but that has to be scary as hell. that little corolla did its job.

 

[bagged97taco]

Glad he is alive! 150mph. What was she driving that would still move after a high speed hit?

 

[PaPaG]

WOW, this could have ended really bad...THANK GOD he is OK and that the POS that hit him got caught...

 

[ArizonaKevin]

Scary as hell. Lot of inmates in the area if you need any local support before you can get out here

 

[DaveC]

Holy smokes. Kid got lucky. Someone was watching over him. Thank god for you and your family.

This is why I tell my son avoid driving late at nite if possible.

 

[HitIt]

Super sorry to hear this. I hope he heals quickly both mentally and physically. Being a parent is terrifying.

 

[rivrrts429]

Wow, that made my hair stand up. Super thankful it wasn’t worse. I never want that call.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Very scary.. I'm glad your son will be okay.

 

[RiverDave]

150 mph? What was the other person driving?

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

150 mph? What was the other person driving?

A DCB.

Glad everyone is alive. At 150 the DUI suspect wouldn’t have been able to drive away at all.

 

[HitIt]

Hug your kids. Every. Time. You. See. Them. Then hug em again.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Wow. Glad he will be ok

 

[charlyox]

I didn't know they has CHP in Phoenix. JK, I am glad your kid is O.K.

 

[Tamalewagon]

Exactly. I tell all of my boys that nothing good happens on the road after 11pm. All of the loonies and drunkards are out on the road. I don't have all of the details just yet, but apparently she hit a car just before hitting my son which slowed her down a little. She was already running from hitting the other car when she slammed into my son. I'm waiting to get a copy of the police report.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

So happy to hear he is alright

 

[mbrown2]

Wow....your son has angels on his side....

 

[Ziggy]

I sure hope it isn't one of those "no es mi responsabilidad" episodes.
.
Really, really glad to hear your boy isn't hurt bad Scott. Heart stopping for sure.
Had a similar call from my boy when he was in school out there. He'd rolled his truck.... after he jumped a water canal with it

 

[HitIt]

The good ol days:

Be careful out there.

My sons reward was riding a bicycle to school for a few months.

 

[Rajobigguy]

So happy to hear that your son is ok. I can’t imagine a scarier phone call.

I have always soo dreaded one of those calls. I am very happy that your son is OK. I also have told my kids that late-night driving (especially the freeway) is not a good idea

 

[ka0tyk]

anyone else try to click the play button a bunch of times? heh.

glad the kid is okay... im terrified of my kids getting behind the wheel. i got a few more years hopefully everything will be automated by then.

 

[spectra bash]

Glad your son is good. Crazy stuff.

Put 'em in the bus...everyone will get out of their way

 

[H20 Toie]

I know the feeling my daughter got hit by drunk driver two years ago on the 5 fwy, no lights on driving a 260Z at 12:30 in the morning.but she was fine the car did its job

 

[Done-it-again]

Yep, just did

Glad all is ok.....

 

[Tamalewagon]

I didn't know they has CHP in Phoenix. JK, I am glad your kid is O.K.

Police, CHP, State Trooper...dunno. I'm just assuming it was CHP being for CA. They were uniformed LEO's and I'm grateful to them. They kept him calm and safe after the accident and caught the driver. As much as I want her head on a platter for being so irresponsible and reckless with other peoples lives, if she is young I hope this will scare her straight. This is going to financially cripple her for a long time to come.

 

[Tamalewagon]

Glad he is alive! 150mph. What was she driving that would still move after a high speed hit?

Not sure how valid that MPH is but that's what the officer said he was putting on the report.

See if this works...

 

[mbrown2]

Wow....just a bit further up and he could have taken that impact on the side.....looks like she did some high speed PIT maneuver on him....but caught him in the rear left quarter and worked her way forward...

 

[HitIt]

Video worked. That looks like it was about 2 feet away from a disaster. Wow.

 

[Tooms22]

150 mph?! I would definitely say he's lucky.

At that speed it sounds like a nicer car and hopefully a bigger policy.

Make sure your son gets fully checked out. The young people tend to try and shake off car accident pains and end up with back/neck issues down the road.

 

[Chili Palmer]

Glad your son is okay, someone is watching over him.
Are you sure the cop didn't say "about 50" and not "a hundred and fifty"?

 

[RVRKID]

Wow so glad to hear he is ok..

 

[attitude]

That is crazy, I’m glad he is OK!

 

[grumpy88]

Very scary .

 

[Tamalewagon]

The woman that hit him has a cut rate policy. Probably because she is a repeat offender.

 

[Bullet28]

Glad your son is ok, the big man was watching out for him.

 

[RitcheyRch]

scary and glad your son is ok.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Your boy will be sore for a few days, but hopefully not too torn up. Glad nobody died...could have been so much worse

 

[Tamalewagon]

I'm grateful that I got the call from him, not a LEO.

 

[havasuhusker]

Glad your son will be okay. He definitely had someone looking over his shoulder that night. As stated before. lots of inmates, including myself in and around the valley that can lend a hand if needed.

 

[golakers]

UBER!!!!! People, Its not rocket science! Just call an UBER!!

Glad he's ok!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Music to my Ears]

Wow, that's scary Scott! So happy to hear that he's going to be okay. It sure sounds like it could have been much worse. Hang in there my friend!

 

[lbhsbz]

Good, he might be able to move out of his apt. And into her house after you take it in court.

 

[Tamalewagon]

UBER!!!!! People, Its not rocket science! Just call an UBER!!

Glad he's ok!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what we were saying last night. She made a conscious choice to get behind the wheel and she is going to pay dearly for it.

 

[Tamalewagon]

Good, he might be able to move out of his apt. And into her house after you take it in court.

We already purchased a home out there. I am taking her to court as the car belongs to me. I have no mercy for repeat offenders. She almost killed my son so I'm going to do my best to make sure she isn't able to get behind the wheel of a car for a while. I don't want to put her out of her home. I just want to make sure she cannot drive for the foreseeable future. I told my son to try to forgive her if he can find it in his heart. She clearly has deeper problems and demons to deal with.

 

[BingerFang]

Wow your son is very lucky.


I hope you sue the piss out of this lady… there’s not enough room in this world for repeat offenders.

 

[oldschool]

Glad to hear your son is ok. Scary shit.
