Why drinking and driving do not mix

See and download the full gallery on posterous

The top vehicle, a Lexus RX 330 was north bound on US 59. The bottom vehicle, a Chevrolet Tahoe was south bound, in the north bound lanes. The Lexus tried to swerve, but could not avoid the head-on collision. Each vehicle was going about 60 MPH. The driver of the Tahoe jumped out and started running down the shoulder of the freeway leaving the injured driver in the Tahoe. Luckily, witnesses saw him run and gave a good description. We snatched him up and returned him to the scene. A DWI task force unit came and took over that part for us. The drunk guy ended up blowing a .25, three times the legal limit. The driver of the Lexus had minor injuries, she was lucky.
 
A funny side note, we found hundreds of condoms in the Tahoe. Literally, a cardboard box on the backseat exploded and condoms rained down. Not sure what the drunk guy had planned, but he did not get see that plan through to it's fruition.

That was pretty ugly and they were all very lucky....I don't think the Lexus was a RX, since that is the SUV model and the picture looks like a sedan, maybe an ES or GS?

It may look like a sedan, but it really was the RX, the small SUV.
