Drunk Crash at UGA

So, check this out...I think I took this picture in 1997, just as I was entering law school at University of Georgia. This is a picture of a brick wall just off Lumpkin St. A drunk driver crashed into it, destroying a significant portion of the wall. The impact was from the North, so the driver would have entered from the left side of the picture.

There was very little press on the event at the time, but this is a really impressive crash. If you look at the picture closely, you'll see that the driver crossed a very large sidewalk in order to hit the sign--that sidewalk is about 12' across. All of "University" is destroyed on the sign, so they must have hit it pretty hard.

Since you've been away, there was a crash into a brick wall of the Athens-Clarke County Police headquarters. Ironically, the car nearly hit an expensive driving simulator.
