SUV driver blows hydrant – and triggers costly flooding

A drunk SUV driver left a trail of devastation on his drive. In doing so, it also caused a costly flood.

Burnaby (Canada) – It is well known that alcohol and driving do not go well with each other. Yet, people keep running behind a wheel full of stars. In the worst-case scenario, this kind of drunk driving ends up fatally – unfortunately too often for the onlookers. Happiness can be talked about only when there is material loss. A 62-year-old drunk driver recently had this fate in Canada – although the property damage in his case was lavish. Burnaby The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has now published a video of the 62-year-old’s insane ride in the Cadillac Escalade.

The video first shows how the man drives the Escalade in serpentine lines through the night streets – he simply drives on double lane lines. And it becomes wilder and wilder: the SUV follows the excursion into the trenches, with violent shaking. But the driver cannot be stopped from a red light higher than this. Then it explodes: The Escalade thunders over a hydrant. Result: A huge amount of water flows through the destroyed system. And there are consequences: police reported water damage to nearby homes and municipal property worth 34,600 Canadian dollars (equivalent to about 24,200 euros). *24auto.de is an offer ippn.media.
