The driver of a street sweeper who was called by cops to clean an Albuquerque, New Mexico accident scene Friday left quite a mess behind, after he rammed a police car in an apparent alcohol-induced crash. The Albuquerque Journal reports 59-year-old Herbert Morgan's sweeper struck a Bernalillo County deputy's patrol car at the scene of the earlier accident, and when cops asked him to step out of the vehicle, he appeared to be intoxicated. Cops say Morgan admitted he had "four cans" when asked if he'd had any alcohol. He allegedly flunked a breathalyzer test. Morgan was arrested on suspicion of DWI. He already has two prior DWI convictions, the paper reports.
A co-pastor of a church in Varina, Virginia is in hot water after allegedly causing not one but two car accidents on Tuesday. According to WWBT-TV, 47-year-old pastor Jay Bertrand struck a painter on a ladder before slamming into a Richmond Krispy Kreme store. The painter suffered minor injuries. Cops say just hours after he was released from the hospital, Bertrand got behind the wheel of his wife's car, and reportedly rear-ended a woman's vehicle. She reportedly wasn't injured. Bertrand's family says he suffers from back issues, and a spasm caused the first accident. The family says side-effects of his medication caused the second crash. Bertrand is facing reckless driving charges for the first wreck and DUI charges for the second accident. He allegedly has no memory of the second crash.
