It will be interesting to see how Boston College head hockey coach Jerry York handles this incident. My first question is how the hell do you run into a commuter train? Those things are pretty big, and I am not sure how you miss a big green commuter train. Also, what are 7 people doing in a Jeep it’s supposed to seat five.
BOSTON -- Three members of Boston College's national champion hockey team team are facing alcohol possession charges Monday after they and five other teenagers were in a car crash with a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority trolley car late Saturday and police found blood-smeared cans of beer and a bottle of Rubinoff vodka in the SUV.Links to the story

ReplyDeleteThat car looks messed up pretty bad. Lucky nobody was seriously hurt.
Looks like they got t-boned...I've driven around those things in Salt Lake City, and honestly, with as stupid as a lot of people are behind the wheel, I'm surprised accidents like this aren't a daily occurrence.
ReplyDeleteGood point Boosh, there are a lot of moron's behind the wheel.
