Chris Soules Arrested

[jsb]

Playing devil's advocate here prior to trial & conviction (I'm not interested in defending a person who is proven to have killed someone while DUI).

If he was in a head-on crash (or at least his vehicle had a front impact), then regardless of the circumstances is it possible that he suffered a concussion in the crash or something similar that might explain his poorly thought out response (and the way he looked in the mug shot)?

That's a good point.

Both vehicles were southbound. Not sure how head on anything would be since he must have hit the trailer first.

But he hit the back of the trailer with the head of his vehicle, likely causing the airbag to go off?

 

[cyclonespiker33]

If he was drunk as it appears I wouldn't really classify it as an accident, but the mindset that anything preventable isn't an accident is BS.

It may be unintentional but to call it an accident is to say that it is acceptable.

I'd guess you are in the minority with that interpretation.

I suppose the airbag might cause a concussion. Assuming with a tractor this size, whatever he was pulling on trailer hitch was not large. The bottles in the truck and OWI history, as well as the public comments and consumption, make alcohol seem much more probable.

Chris called out over the radio and a family member heard the call. Family member went to the scene and jumped into the ditch to help the farmer as Chris ran up the ditch and took off with family members truck. Chris fled due to impairment. Life flight was called but cancelled shortly after due to death being reported.

Got a source on that?

You're spiraling off in kind of a weird direction on this.

Hawk fan...



I would assume the truck driver who hit the tractor was the one that died, but could be wrong

No, it was the driver of the tractor. Story said the tractor went into the ditch after being struck.

 

[SNEDDS3]

Yep, the family member with the truck.

IF this is true, it seems even worse.

I guess I read that as his impairment was an injury that he was going to get medical care for.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Yep, the family member with the truck.

Oh, so it was your family member who came to assist. Reading that through the first time, I thought it was Soules' family member who came to assist.

 

[SNEDDS3]

Not that kind of impairment. Don't over think it.

It was Chris' family member and I happen to be friends with them.

So who called the cops? It will be interesting to see what happens with this whole thing.

You would make a good (bad) public defender...

 

[Gonzo]

I don't see how the guy avoids going away for a good while.

 

[SNEDDS3]

Not a question I asked in the brief conversation I had.

 

[Cyclone11]

Don't know who this guy is but if Charter is a fan I hope he's in jail for a long time.

Which are you people referring to? The realtor guy that Chris and them talk with on the radio? Did he screw you over home buying? Fill us in, I might be looking for a house soon.
