Truck Lands in Pool after Crashing Through Wall
A Phoenix accident happened early Friday morning last week where a man, appearing to be intoxicated, drove his pickup truck through the backyard of a house, ending up upside down in the pool (KPHO 02/25/2011).
According to the owner of the house, the man was able to pull himself out after the truck accident and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
None of the people inside the house were hurt.
Police added that the suspect was also wanted for questioning regarding a domestic violence arson investigation in Scottsdale.
This was not the first time that the family has witnessed an accident near their home at Dixileta and Tatum. Several vehicles have gone crashing into their back wall including a fatal motorcycle crash last year which killed the driver.
After going through such collision, the driver is lucky to have managed to come out alive. But because of his negligence, properties were damaged and lives were put at stake. This is how dangerous intoxicated driving can be.
Year after year we hear reports of fatal car accidents involving impaired drivers. In 2009, alcohol impaired drivers were responsible for 10,839 vehicle crash fatalities, or 32 percent of all fatal accidents for the year.
