Man laying in the middle of the road

We’ve all had those nights where we’ve probably had a little too much to drink. Next thing you know, you are pulled over for DUI or something worse…like injured or in trouble. That’s what happened to these two people from Illinois.

There’s A Reason Alcohol And Cars Don’t Mix

Bryan Baker decided to drive drunk near the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri on Friday. Bryan was so drunk that he decided to get out of the truck around 1:15 A.M. in the morning. He forgot to put the truck in park and put the emergency brake on. Well you can probably guess what happened next. The truck started to roll backwards. Ashley Baker was in the passenger seat and tried to hop into the drivers seat to try stop the truck from rolling, but she failed to do so, KOMU News reports.

The 2004 Dodge 4500 kept rolling backwards and eventually ran over Bryan Baker. Bryan suffered serious injuries because of it. But apparently the injuries weren’t too serious because he was well enough to get arrested hours later for driving while he was intoxicated.

What Happened To Ashley Baker?

It seems like Bryan Baker had the worst luck of the night. He was drunk, run over by his own truck then arrested for a DWI. But what happened to Ashley Baker?

According to KOMU News, Ashley wasn’t let off the hook either. Ashley was arrested and charged with drunk driving. You’re probably wondering why? The details on her arrest weren’t too clear but we do know she was arrested two hours after everything happened. We can only guess that she drove drunk later in the night, or maybe she was charged with a DWI because she jumped behind the wheel when Bryan was getting run over.

As for how the two are related, we’re not sure. We don’t know if they’re siblings or married, but we do know one thing is for sure…DON’T EVER DRINK AND DRIVE!

Does Las Vegas Have The Worst Drivers

There are a lot of people from all over the country here, maybe that’s why everyone thinks Las Vegas has the worst drivers in the country! It’s a melting pot, a cornucopia, a mish mosh of all sorts of people trying to get around our city. With that said, everyone has a tendency to drive like where they are originally from!

But in a recent study Clevermove.com surveyed 50 major cities throughout the country. Despite what you might think, Las Vegas did not even come in the Top 10! Based on the criteria that included insurance premiums, drunk drivers and highway fatalities, you should know that Las Vegas didn’t even crack the Top 25!

That is the good news…however, where did Las Vegas ranked when it came to the cities with the worst drivers? Hold on to the steering wheel because despite what we all think and know, Las Vegas came in at #30 on the list! That is totally amazing…especially after surviving today!

On the flipside, most Americans think that the state of California has the BEST and the WORST drivers in the country. New York City has the fewest drunk driving fatalities and our friends in Detroit pay the highest insurance premiums.

So as you drive throughout the day in our wonderful city, keep your head on a swivel. Not sure if the stats actually indicate day to day driving in the city. We think a lot of Las Vegans would tell you that the drivers here are CRAZY. Much more, they just don’t know how to drive.

But what cities officially have the worst drivers? Ah, for that list, just scroll down and check it out. As you look at the Top 5, remember, you can see the entire list clicking HERE!

Never been, so we can’t really say, but clearly they have a few bad drivers. Or at least enough for this celebrity laden city to be at #5 when it comes to the worst drivers!

#4. TAMPA, FLORIDA
This former Super Bowl city has enough going on it seems, but driving is not one of them. There must be a reason why this wonderful city by the bay is at #4 on the list!
