  A fifteen-year-old boy was injured in a car accident when the minivan he
was traveling in was hit by a pickup truck at an intersection. The boy was taken
to a nearby hospital. The paramedics said that it appeared that the boy had
nothing more serious than a broken left leg, but that internal injuries were
always a possibility. The boy was conscious and alert. His mother, who was
driving, was uninjured. She said that the truck appeared out of nowhere, and she
thought she was going to die. She turned the steering wheel sharply to the left,
and the truck hit her minivan on the passenger side.
          The driver of the truck was a 50-year-old man who was unemployed and
apparently had been drinking—police found 18 empty beer cans inside the truck.
The man denied drinking, but he failed the police test for sobriety. When asked
to touch his nose with his arms outstretched and eyes closed, he was unable to
touch any part of his head.
          The handcuffed man asked the police if they knew where “Mabel” was as he
was put into the back seat of the police vehicle. The police asked him if Mabel
was his wife. He said, “She’s my dog, my dog! Where’s my baby?” A dog with a
collar, but no identification, was found minutes later, half a block away. The
man was taken to the city jail and booked on suspicion of driving while
intoxicated and on causing an accident.
