Oh man, what jack asses. I can't imagine hitting that thing. The booze thing isn't a surprise, I imagine they were going 60 or something too.

I do my best to never be out that late, visibility is so bad the amount of dangerous crap to hit increases exponentially. I was out really late the weekend before the 4th and getting the boat out of the water was a bit hairy. Never again.
No life jackets? It never surprises me how many people don't do the simple things that keep them from being dead.

The guy must of been pretty buzzed (or maybe the adrenaline kicked in?) to refuse medical attention and then check himself into Breck with multi broken bones the next morning.

That's gotta be pretty rough trying to swim with broken bones! Sounds like a Jack Daniels inspired event.
