Ever want to remove a tree in your yard. Hopefully it is in the front yard between the sidewak and the street.
Find yourself a drunken neighbor. Thursday morning at 2 am, neighbor came home drunk went into house and must have had words with his wife. Jumped back in his 2001 F150 hit the gas , lost control while turning the wheel. Took down a mailbox and a 20 year old 30 ft high tree , roots and all.
That is bad enough but not the worst of it. He called a tow truck who called the police. Then had his wife come out and said she was driving the truck. He was in the house and never came out and she said he wasn't home. Cops made her get in the truck and she couldn't even reach the gas or brake pedals.They know she did not drive the truck. Waiting to see what police report says. She was warned by cops about signing a report when they knew she wasn't the driver.
One good thing, thank goodness he didn't come straight back or his insurance company would have bought me a new truck and rebuilding the front of my house.
A neighbor has the whole accident on video tape.
