DWI Hit Parade!

William Ryan Fullmer…fled the scene with the hair and blood of his victim embedded in his windshield.

From Salt Lake Tribune
A 21-year-old Tooele man has been charged in a fatal hit-and-run crash earlier this year in downtown Salt Lake City.
According to charges filed last week in 3rd District Court, William Ryan Fullmer began the night of April 25 with a couple shots of Grey Goose vodka before drinking four to six beers during a Utah Jazz game. After the game, because Fullmer was “too intoxicated to drive,” Fullmer’s friend drove the man’s car to a parking lot near 200 South and 500 East, where her car was parked, charges state.
The two left the parking lot in the separate cars. That’s when Fullmer passed his friend on the right and hit 50-year-old pedestrian Eugene Nelson, according to court documents.
Nelson, of Salt Lake City, was walking south across the street, against the light at the intersection of 500 South and Main Street, police said.
Fullmer later told police he “struck a bag, a dog or a deer,” after which he pulled over, “panicked and left the scene,” the charges state. The man denied buying or drinking any vodka prior to the crash. ….MORE

According to Idaho State Police on July 19, 2012, at approximately 7:20 p.m., Idaho State Police investigated a crash on Interstate 184, at approximately milepost 1.5, between Cole Rd. and Emerald Rd.  Rick D. Peterson, 21, of Nampa, was driving west in a 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage.  For unknown reasons, Peterson’s vehicle collided with a concrete barrier on the right side of the roadway.  The vehicle then traveled across all of the lanes and collided with another concrete barrier on the left side of the roadway. 
Also in the vehicle were passengers Christopher L. Chavez, 21, of Boise, Aeilla L. Yerby, 16, of Meridian, and Daisia A. Titus, 19, of Nampa.  Peterson, Yerby, and Titus were transported by ground ambulance to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise.
