Drunk driver this morning came through our Frackville job and hit multiple cars and
00:10
the PennDOT inspectors tried to stop her by parking in the construction lane. They sat there to try to slow her down and she rammed them and flipped their vehicle over on its roof.
00:29
One person went to the hospital, then she made it all the way down,
00:34
miles down the road, all the way down. Her car was all demolished, made it all the way down to Pottsville and finally wrecked out in the intersection by T-boning some people.
00:50
Wow.
00:52
She must have been on drugs or something.
00:54
That's crazy.
00:58
I see a lot of that kind of thing on the Facebook Reels and stuff.
01:04
Some pretty wild police cases.
01:07
But she was hell-bent on getting out of there, I guess.

Yeah, apparently she wrecked into multiple people on I-81 before she got on PA-61.
01:23

01:53
I kind of think there's a state police crack bill,
01:57
but I might be wrong.
01:59
But anyway, they finally apprehended her after she wrecked out down in Pottsville, but man, she made it a long way.
02:08
And just destruction all along.
02:11
It's really crazy.
02:12
I have some dash cam video from one of our guys as she hits the vehicle and then hits the side of the road.
02:21
But yeah, really crazy.
02:25
Poor inspectors, just trying to stop her and they flipped their vehicle over.
02:32
I imagine that was not fun, but they said she was drunk.
02:37
Now, whether that means on drugs or alcohol, you really don't know nowadays, I guess.
02:42
