Make it a double.
A car belonging to a woman who drove into a ditch after leaving a bar was hit by a truck driven by a friend coming to her aid. Both drivers tested double the legal blood-alcohol limit, according to police reports obtained by Scoop Nashville.
The double DUI arrest happened in East Nashville, Tenn., shortly after midnight Thursday morning.
Police say Natasha Nancel, 24, admitted she’d has a glass of wine and an espresso martini at the Fox Bar before driving her car into a trench after checking her cell phone. She reportedly called her friend Melvin Arnt for assistance. When the 30-year-old man arrived to help Nancel, cops say he struck her vehicle.
Police said Arnt confessed to consuming “two beers” before driving. He reportedly blew a 0.191 BAC and Nancel registered a 0.179 BAC. The legal limit is 0.08.
