A boozed-up wrong-way driver flipped his car and slammed into a tree on Long Island Sunday night, killing a 19-year-old woman and injuring six other passengers, authorities said.
Luis Gonzalo Barrionuevo-Fuertes, a former East Hampton High School graduate, was allegedly behind the wheel of a Toyota Camry while driving in the wrong direction on Old Stone Highway in East Hampton when he swerved to avoid slamming into another car around 7:30 p.m.

This incident took place in the ‘80’s in my mom’s ‘82 corvette after a big concert. Two adult males and three females. I was fourteen, lol.
Yes, alcohol was involved.An incredible moment of stupidity:)
