We called 911 Tonight
DH, a friend and I were coming home from Long Beach tonight, getting on the Loop to the Meadowbrook when we saw a tire roll in front of us, then looked to the left and saw an over- turned jeep! So DH said you better call 911 - I called, they took forever, so DH got out to see if the guy was ok. I saw him climb out of his jeep. I called 911 back and they said "Well it takes longer than 5 minutes!"  Then they arrived, DH came back and the guy had said, he just bought the jeep (less than 2 weeks ago) and was going 65 around the corner and had "a few drinks"!  A crazy night - DH didn't think he was drunk but maybe more surprised and scared than anything. Just never had to call 911 before!

You know what? You're right, because the car landed on the passenger side and that person would have definitely been killed!
Edited for spelling.

Damn. You'd think people would know better than to drink and get behind the wheel.

MY ex's tired rolled off his jeep one night too! We were four-wheeling though (it was a long time ago). The lug nuts losened up and came off!
Hope the guy was OK. Pretty stupid to be DWI-ing.

Re: We called 911 Tonight
I hate that curve, especially when the ground is slick. I'm amazed everyday when I see people take it at speeds I wouldn't dare!
