THIRD TIME IS A CHARM

By Bob Walsh

A 27-year old woman, who has not been named by the police, managed to self-rehabilitate Tuesday night after her third crash of the evening.

The CHP got a call of a hit-and-run about 10:10 p.m. on West Lane north of Morada in north Stockton. They found a newish Honda sort of wrapped around a power pole with the driver dead inside. The woman had apparently been involved in two hit-and-runs before in the Fox Creek area of north Stockton and left at a high rate of speed traveling north on West Lane.

It seems that the woman sideswiped a tree on the passenger side of the car, causing the car to roll over onto the drivers side. At that time a power pole jumped out in front of the car and the car slid into it and wrapped the roof around the power pole.

The CHP said that it is unknown if there was a drug or alcohol involvement in the crashes. I am willing to make a modest bet there was. Either that or her exuberance clearly exceeded her level of skill.
