This happened on the evening of July 4th, just around the corner from me. I had heard on the scanner that there was a traffic accident, but the details were not in the paper until today.

Cliffs:
Woman and drunk passenger are stuck in traffic while driving home from the fireworks show.
Drunkard decides that it would be kewl to light off a "Fire Ring Rocket" from the car window.
Lit rocket exits car, but re-enters shortly after liftoff. Like a second later.
Lit rocket hits the lit passenger and bounces off his lap....
Bounces around car interior.....
Landing in the drivers lap, causing second degree burns.
Driver panics and punches accelerator on her Honda.
Smashing into Saturn and pushing it under a Plymouth.
$4000 in damages to the 3 cars, injuries, and tickets to driver and passenger.
Reminds me of that Jeff Foxworthy line, "Hey Ya'll, watch this!" right before something really bad/stupid happens.
