Shut up troll
Hilarious!!! You are up posting at 2:10 AM and you call me a troll. LMAO!!!
Why don’t you comment something related to the article and stop simon instead of being a little attention magnet.
The occupant kinda deserved to drown for drinking and driving. I would not jump in that canal for sure. The current is too strong.
Current is too strong? What current?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
“Blacked Out” my ass! This woman was six-sheets-to-the-wind!
Saved her life so that she could continue drinking and driving irresponsibly — running red lights — and then crashing into someone and killing them! I hope after she’s finished with the hospital, she winds up in the Martinez jail.
Why is everyone stating she was drinking? “The suspect was exhibiting signs of impairment” That’s all it says.
Did you impair her with your irrelevant comments and questions? Lol.

Adolescence (from Latin adolescere, meaning ‘to grow up’) is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood (age of majority).
Dear ignorant people,
Keep your one minded comments to yourself. You ever think she may have been showing signs of impairment because she just landed up side down in a canal and almost f***n died? Cmon people show some respect! You guys have no idea what happened. So go back to school and comment after puberty. Glad she survived!! High five to the people who saved her life!! That’s who the story should be about! The heroes not the victim?
Yeah she was drunk go figure…
