In hospital with serious leg injuries after crashing his car at speed and it rolling several t8mes.
According to the first officer on scene there were no skid marks or signs of braking, begs the question had he been drinking again like last time?

I saw a pic of the car and it was well off the road at least 60' down a steep slope. Seriously mangled large SUV. We don't know what happened so I won't speculate. I can only wish him a speedy recovery.

Default Yes.

It's quite a wreck, the front end is flat and I suspect the engine has pushed back into the car itself to cause the injuries, I'm betting it's his right leg that's broken due to that. If you look carefully at the scene there's not much to suggest it's rolled down the gradient, it looks like it's been airborne and come down on the front with a massive impact, it's the sort of damage you'll see with high speed crashes against blunt objects and, the ground is tougher than the car.

I must say I'm impressed with the structural quality of the cabin shell. It hasn't got one wrinkle in it with the roof still in original shape. That's a strong chassis. The screen has been pulled to get him out. Were the doors not unlocked?

Turns out he passed the breath test but had other substances in his system.
