Alcohol and lava don’t mix

Big Island Vido News

I think this is worthy of an Honourable Mention. I am sure this gentleman will be stupid enough to do something even more stupid one day.

Man attempts to drive his car into the “no entry” areas declared during the current state of emergency following the eruption of Kīlauea. Ends up crashing into a wall of lave, taken to hospital where he is discovered to be intoxicated. Cited for DUI, no seatbelt and entering the forbidden area.

Luckily are lava was cold and set.

This is definitely a new take on drunk driving, so I'm more than happy to allow it as an HM. Thanks, Chris. For the mods, here's a brief news article that matches the details of the video: http://mauinow.com/2018/06/01/man-arrested-crashes-car-into-hardened-lava-flow/

Crashing into a wall of lava due to extreme stupidity is not something that happens every day. Thanks, Chris!
