Florida man flips his Nissan Versa, calls 911, escapes ambulance, and gets arrested for a DUI
Bad decisions are a bit like ants. You might only see one, but you know it has companions. That was especially the case for one Florida man who decided to drive while intoxicated, leading him to drunkenly flip his little Nissan sedan. If that wasn’t enough, the driver slipped away from police and EMS in a brazen attempt to drive his wounded little Versa home.
A Florida man may have played a bit too much Grand Theft Auto after deciding to go on this drunk driving fiasco
A 67-year-old man from Century, Florida, had no business getting behind the wheel after having a few too many. But he did, slinking into his Nissan Versa and hitting the road. But he didn’t get very far, spearing off Highway 4A. He rolled his little sedan at least once, but the vehicle ultimately came to a rest right-side up and on all four tires. Pretty lucky, all things considered.
The Florida man then made what was possibly one of his only decent decisions of the day: calling 911 to report the crash and likely seek medical attention. According to the community website for North Escambia, local fire and EMS units responded to the wreck. But the Century resident was less than appreciative of the help.
EMS personnel loaded the driver into an ambulance. He then reportedly “became verbally abusive” with the first responders at the scene. After that, the bad decisions just kept on coming. He escaped through the rear doors of the ambulance and made his way to his damaged Nissan Versa.
Despite the trauma of a rollover crash, the Nissan Versa started. Better yet, the Florida man was able to drive the compact sedan away from the wreck site. Authorities say he drove about a mile and a half before arriving at his nearby home. Of course, police weren’t far behind.
A state trooper arrested the drunk driver after he slurred his way through a refusal to take a field sobriety test. When in custody, the man blew a 0.164% blood alcohol concentration reading. If you don’t know anything about BAC limits in Florida (or the rest of the country, for that matter), that’s high. Over twice the limit of 0.08% high.
