Driver Loses Mabel, Finds Jail (1)

A fifteen-year-old boy was injured in a car accident when the minivan he was traveling in was hit by a pickup truck at an intersection(交叉点). The boy was taken to a nearby hospital. The paramedics(医务人员) said that it appeared that the boy had nothing more serious than a broken left leg, but that internal(内部) injuries were always a possibility(可能性). The boy was conscious(神志清楚) and alert. His mother, who was driving, was uninjured. She said that the truck appeared out of nowhere, and she thought she was going to die. She turned the steering wheel sharply to the left, and the truck hit her minivan on the passenger side.

The driver of the truck was a 50-year-old man who was unemployed(失业者) and apparently(显然地) had been drinking—police found 18 empty beer cans inside the truck. The man denied(否认) drinking, but he failed the police test for sobriety(清醒). When asked to touch his nose with his arms outstretched(伸出) and eyes closed, he was unable to touch any part of his head.
