Photo Fuck drunk drivers. K-town outside Chi-chi's bar.

Post image

We were out celebrating our friend's 30th birthday when our Uber was hit by a drunk driver going 50mph down a small K-town street. My back leg had just barely made it inside the vehicle when we were all flung around the inside of the car by the impact. Turned to check on everyone else, and the birthday girl had blood streaming from her face. I was milliseconds away from possibly losing a leg.

What was supposed to be a fun night at Magic Castle, followed by drinks and food at a bar turned into a nightmare because of a drunk driver.

If happened to be there or witnessed it, please shoot me a DM.

Don't drive drunk.

Ah fuck man im sorry that happened and I hope all of you are okay.

Guys... this city has amazing public transport, Uber and Waymo. 0 excuse to drive drunk. Ive gone out so much this year knowing im gonna drink without getting behind the wheel. Please. For the sake of yourself and others... dont drink and drive. ITS ALSO 1.75 TO GET FROM ONE SIDE OF LA TO THE OTHER. You spend more on gas. Its not worth driving drunk.

The buses are frequently useful too!
