Oh, those crazy drunks...
A man found himself paralyzed when his drunken prank led to disaster. Wilbur, 43, was driving with his son when he made the fatal decision to swerve and hit a dog. He missed the dog, and the truck careened out of control on the gravel road and tipped over an embankment. His son and a passenger were rescued.
No one was wearing a seat belt. Police found a cooler of beer in the back, and empty cans in the cab of the overturned vehicle. An officer stated, "They were out joy riding, bought lottery tickets, and just cut through that gravel road." And to think, this happened scant miles from the idyllic Walton's Mountain of television fame. -The Lynchburg News & Advance
