Drink Driving

At 0130 last night i woke to a horrific noise of wheels locked up on bitumen and the following noise of car crashing and rolling off the road.  I live near a common road in karratha and some car had rolled, thats what woke me up.  I immediately got out of bed, grabbed the first aid kit, the mobile phone and ran outside in my bordies and thongs to see if there was something i could do.  i ran up the road and across the bit of scrub, past an idiot who was watching having a beer and not helping one bit.  As i was running through te scrub, i rang 000 to get an ambulance ASAP.  I got to the car in about a minute and helped the drunk non licensed 16 year old driver pull a passenger out of the car, that was on its roof about thirty meters off the road.  The guys arm was nackered, cut, probably broken.  We dragged him up to the road, at this stage the police arrived.  They did a great job.  I think there was about 5 kids, that's what they were kids.  One ran from the scene and left the rest, cops caught him though.
It was a bloody mess the car, everyone was ok, luckily. 
For all the young fellas out there, that was a real sight last night, something i don't want to have to do again, i know most of you do the right thing.  Please don't be complacent and just do the right thing.

Good on ya brad

One thing that blows me away about karratha is that there are alot of people in a hurry.

Too many fatalitys for a town of this size.

I saw some skids marks this morning on dampier road, so im thinking it must be the same ones your talking about.

I live right near that area , so we must be neighbours....
