FROM BROOKHAVEN POLICE:
DECEMBER 24, 2020: Twas the night before 
Earlier this afternoon a DUI driver committed a hit and run at the intersection of Buford Highway and North Druid Hills Road. He fled through a parking lot where he struck several more vehicles. The drunk driver then fled north on Buford Highway until one of his wheels fell off, causing him to lose control and spin into oncoming traffic.
The resulting crash involved five other vehicles and injured 12 people, five of whom were transported to area hospitals. The grinch who started it all was arrested on multiple traffic offenses. He was also found to be wanted for aggravated assault by another metro agency.
All puns aside: this whole series of events was entirely preventable, but for the selfish and dangerous decision of one person to drive drunk. Even on the holidays, your Brookhaven Police officers are out looking for impaired drivers. Please, have a plan before you drink to call a friend, a cab, or a rideshare. If you drive drunk, you could go to jail, lose your license, face huge fines and legal fees – or injure or kill an innocent person.
