Watched a drunk driver fly into a tree

A couple nights ago I was smoking in the garage right before going to bed and I could hear somebody’s car frame sparking bouncing off the road from speeding (people fly down our street trying to beat the train I live behind or just use it as a cut through. It’s not uncommon to see someone going 50mph. The road is filled with pothole and is very uneven and the city will never repave it bc then people could really fly down it). When I stepped outside all I saw were sparks from him landing on the road. Then I watched him hit another ditch fly over two driveway and into a tree. You could feel the ground move he hit it so hard. I ran over there to see if he was ok, I was screaming through the window “are you ok, are you ok, I’m gonna call 911 if you don’t respond.” He didn’t so I called 911 (still even hesitated bc I don’t like to call the cops on people, personal thing). Neighbor from two house down (where the drunk diver landed) came out bc he thought somebody hit his house bc it shook so bad and we waited for cops to get there. When the cops got there the guy got out of his car stumbling around asking what street he was on so his sister could pic him up and the cops were like you need to come with us buddy. His car had a 3 foot indent in the hood and had even bounced off the tree a foot from hitting it so hard. His tailpipe and exhaust were fallen off the car and just laying on the ground. The guy went to the hospital and I’m sure he’s got a dui too. We asked the cop if we could take a pic of the car but he said no.

I went out and looked in the morning and what had happened was he few over the ditch (these are not tiny ditches either) three houses down, took out two fences, rode the side walk for two houses, jumped the ditch back to the street, that’s where I saw his car bouncing off the street. Hit the ditch on the other side of the street and flew over two driveways and into a tree. He just never slowed down, hopping the ditches and into the tree. It was honestly the craziest thing I’ve seen in a long time. But it was probably better he hit the tree instead of somebody else. I was talking to the neighbors where he started and they had parts of his car on the roof of their car and his side mirror on their hood. Tons of other parts of his car were scattered in the ditch too.

I guess a couple night before that on the other side of the railroad tracks across from our house a drunk driver hit a tree and died. My house seems to be a magnet for drunk driving.
