Car runs over sleeping family at campsite

from Car runs over sleeping family at campsite - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Four members of a family are in hospital after the tent they were sleeping in was run over by a car at a campsite on the New South Wales south coast at the weekend ... None of the injuries are life-threatening.

My first thought was "how lucky". Alcohol and youth involved. Perhaps not so lucky.

What can one say... I'm glad no-one from the family was killed...

"Stupid do as stupid does"

Alcohol and youth involved.

What was he thinking?
Oh, thats right, he was drunk and indestructable.
Good to hear no one died.

Travel and camp in groups. Circle the wagons for protection from the young and inebriated. Single wagons act as pinball bumpers. Apparently steel fences are little help either. He must have had a decent run up.

This is a real shame. Hopefully the drunk driver gets what's coming to him with the full force of the law.

Moto Gp riders are taught to go like a rag doll as soon as they stuff up (accident)...Less injuries to when your tense....

Thats why p!ssheads always survive,well not always but a lot of the time...There relaxed...

It's really sad! You go away on a holiday with the family to only have some pissed idiot nearly kill you all! Drink driving laws need to be strengthened. Send the idiot to jail for a year or ten and see how he feels about drinking when he gets out!
