Woman Hits a Guy With Her Car: Says She Panicked

Driver With Man on Windshield Says She Panicked
LOS ANGELES - LINDA DEUTSCH-AP Special Correspondent

A woman who drove 2 miles through a Los Angeles suburb with a dying man on her windshield says she can't remember hitting him. Sherry Lynn Wilkins testified Wednesday that he seemed to fly onto her car in the 2012 incident in Torrance, but the events were a surreal blur. Prosecutors say 31-year-old Phillip Moreno was struck so hard that he flipped onto Wilkins' car and punched a hole in the windshield. "It was a flash, "Wilkins said. "I pretty much felt him landing on my window. To me, it felt like he came from the sky." Asked by her attorney how she felt in that moment, she said, "Very confused, like it wasn't real. It took me a while to figure out there was a body on the windshield." "I didn't feel like I had hit him with my car," she said. "I felt like he fell into my windshield from up high." Wilkins said she panicked and kept driving until other motorists told her to pull over. "I was very scared," she said. "I kind of froze." Wilkins, a former addict who became a drug and alcohol counselor, wept and said she'd been drinking that night but wasn't drunk. She said she had been "self-medicating" while waiting for knee-replacement surgery and had consumed three airplane-size bottles of vodka and a can of Budweiser beer and Clamato before starting to drive.
Prosecutors say her blood-alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. Under questioning by her lawyer, Nan Whitfield, the 52-year-old defendant told jurors her story of addiction, which began when she was in a car accident at the age of 15 and suffered a broken back and shattered bones in her ankles and legs. Wilkins said she became addicted to pain killers and then heroin.

"When did you begin to use heroin?" asked Whitfield.
"When it became cheaper than going to the doctor," she said.

Well, I think the argument is officially over. Women not only suck at driving, they also suck at realizing there's a dead man through your windshield. Guess when your blood alcohol level is twice the legal limit and you're really craving some heroin the only logical thing to do is drive straight into a guy and keep on driving till someone tells you to pull over.

The quotes this lady gives are pure gold.

"I didn't feel like I had hit him with my car. I felt like he fell into my windshield from up high"

Holy shit lady, you are a crackhead to the nth degree. Men falling from the heavens straight into your windshield. I hope prison sobers you up/has a drivers ed program. Red Asphalt IV should be shown on a loop in her cell.

Q: What kind of drunk drinks three airplane bottles of vodka, a single can of Bud, and Clamato in the same sitting?

A: Drunks that run people over and don't care.
