While not the actual rollover of the pickup in this crash, it is a similar one in a recent DUI rollover. They usually have about the same outcome – people are injured and killed. The driver whines about having to remember their lost friends for the rest of their lives – boo hoo – and the family of the dead kid has a graveyard to visit every year to place flowers on the kid’s birthday. Ride with an impaired driver, buy a ticket to your own funeral.
