designated driver
A ten year old boy flipped a van full of inebriated adults and a couple other children after traveling up to 90mph on a Tennessee highway.
Inside the crashed van, police said one of the passengers, 38-year-old Paula Elaine Evans, was trying to swallow as many pills as she could. A man, 43-year-old Randy Lewis, who was wearing a shirt that read “Buy This Dad a Beer,” told police he had drank at least 15 beers, the Kingsport Times-News reported.
The sheriff’s office said Lewis acknowledged drinking liquor besides the beers.
The young driver lost control Sunday of the speeding van, which rolled, coming to rest on its top. Everyone in the van was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The children were related to the adults, but authorities did not specify how.
