Michael Waltrip Charged After Vehicle Accident Saturday
Michael Waltrip Charged After Vehicle Accident Saturday
http://www.wsoctv.com/news/11607175/detail.html
Michael Waltrip is charged with reckless driving and failure to report an accident after a crash on Molly's Backbone Road in Catawba County.
The Highway Patrol says Waltrip was driving about 70 miles per hour in the 55 mile-per-hour zone when he went off the right side of the road in a curve around 1:50 a.m. Saturday.
His car then traveled back across the pavement and off the left side of the roadway, sliding sideways and striking a utility pole as it overturned. The car then rolled over and came to a rest on its side. Troopers said a witness saw Waltrip crawl out of the vehicle and leave the scene.
Waltrip will be in court in Newton on May 14

UPDATE: Michael Waltrip was uninjured in a single car accident Friday night near his home in Sherrills Ford, N.C. The 43-year old was returning from Charlotte, N.C. when he fell asleep at the wheel within a mile of his home and ran off the road, striking a telephone pole. “I am really embarrassed about the accident, but I feel fortunate that I wasn’t hurt,” said Waltrip. “For 25 years I have had a great driving record. I consider myself to be a courteous and safe driver on public roads. I never expected to fall asleep behind the wheel of a car.” The North Carolina Highway Patrol ticketed Waltrip for reckless driving (admitting to falling asleep at the wheel) and failure to notify authorities of an accident in a timely manner.(MWR PR)(4-10-2007)DVR . . . . .

Mikey was freaking lucky that he wasn't seriously injured.
Jeez, it sounds like he was driving faster than he normally does on the race track."If you can help others, and fail to do so, your time on earth has been wasted" - Roberto Clemente

Well, isn't Toyota impressed now? And if that pic is Mikey's car, funny, that looks like a Mitsubishi, not a TOYOTA.....
I think someone in Toyota land will have someone come along and buy out Mikey, like next week. What a doofus...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Mikey's reaction to just having a very serious car accident sounds like what my reaction would be if I had a few too many drinks. Oh well. Nobody believed that Goody Two-Shoes shtick of his anyway.
