No Fault Drunk Wins
Drinking driver wins $600,000 settlement, 19 Sept. 03
CALGARY - Gregg Crackel drank some alcohol, drove into the back of a stalled paving truck in Calgary and, ultimately, walked away with $600,000.
On Friday, Justice Donald MacLeod ruled that Crackel was entitled to damages because the truck driver and owner had been negligent.
The defendants were cited for failing to use cones, or triangles, and for not leaving the truck's four-way flashers on.
Now we have no fault drunks! I am no longer responsible for my faults; everyone else is. Suits me. NJC
