One night in Houston on I45 traffic was slowed for some reason at 2am, I soon figured out why.
I witnessed a vehicle on the West side feeder running into cars and other stationary obstacles
up ahead about 1/4 of a mile. It was insane to watch. The Vehicle managed to cross under
the overhead east side and smash into another vehicle before coming to a rest after
wrapping itself around a very sturdy light pole.

I thought that was it and traffic began to speed up. Just after the point
of this cars impact at approx. 1/8 of a mile I noticed somebody running across the other
side of the highway dodging traffic, then manage to jump over the divider wall into
our south bound side. I swerved to miss and he dove to get ahead of my old mustang but
instead met my drivers side wheels in a prone position. His body spun under the 4-inches
and his legs twirled like a top taking out my mirror and window.
A sight and sound I live with to this day.

He died on that highway, and the person he hit also died which is why
he was desperate to flee. 22-Years old, Drunk and stupid.

Another life changed that night, an officer on the scene was hit by another drunk
driver crippling his legs for the rest of his life. He was only diverting traffic and doing his job.

This day was not ordinary for me, it's a day I live with because of the chain
of events that occurred starting with being let go from my job. Then, my girlfriend
informed me that afternoon she was moving to CA and was breaking up. The best
car I ever owned was totaled after I exited to offer assistance to the man
I had just killed.

This person boasting deserves nothing less than a life sentence for
the life sentence of gut-loneliness and the feeling of emptiness he has
sentenced the family of his victim too. If only for his boasting with no concern
for the victims.
