It was never proven that he was drunk, but he (Matthew Brodderick) was speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road in Ireland.

He crashed head-on into another car, killing the woman driver (in her sixties) and her mother (in her eighties).

I've never determined why horsehead and her husband were not seriously injured.

Thanks for the information. See there, I remembered just enough to get it wrong....but I do remember all the stories about it at the time. Oddly, I am unable to locate ANY of them using Google. Purged?

he wasn't with SJP, he was dating jennifer gray at the time

I really wish I could get dumb facts like that out of my head in exchange for more useful information....

Isn't it amazing how Matt's little driving adventure never made the news? It amazes me what these people get away with...

Horsehead wasn't with him. In fact, they weren't even dating at the time. He was dating Jennifer Gray back then. It was quite a few years ago...pre 1989's Glory flick.
