This may not be as far fetched as you might think. On New Year's Day, I watched (with horror) a drunk on (classic content) a Scwinn Varsity blow through a stop-sign and T-bone a semi loaded with toilet paper! He was so drunk, that all he suffered was a little "road rash". The bike was totalled, and he received tickets for drunk driving and reckless endangerment. The driver of the semi was a wreck. His truck was basically undamaged, but he thought he had killed someone and had to be driven home. Since it happened right in front of my office and I had told the cops what I had seen, they asked me to "toss that bike in the recycling bin" which I did, AFTER removing the few components that weren't destroyed! :)
