Tufano, per the report, was transported to the Lee Memorial Hospital Trauma Center. WBBH quoted a witness, Scott Sugden, who said: "Literally the tire on the SUV ran over the driver's head. Without the helmet, the gentleman would have been dead instantly.’’

I hope the rider lives. As for the scumbag ball player....fry him.

I just read this article and did another thread in off topic.

Only in Florida guys, only in Florida. How come bad news seem to come out of Florida?

I don't hate the state, I used live in Lower Alabama (Panhandle) before heading out West. Fun times in Pensacola.

I do think there are simpler solutions to solving the drunk driving problem for the dumb *** but the repeat alcoholic/druggie is more difficult to solve. The present system is set up to make money for the justice system while not solving the carnage. You could be categorized also.
There are more than a couple on this forum that either overtly or subtly boast about their drinking and riding exploits. It seems some think of it as a badge of honor. It's sad and pathetic.

I hope the old timer will be ok.

It's not only in Florida and it isn't only celebrities. It gets old hearing people using "illness" as an excuse.

Hope the rider makes a full and speedy recovery.

He will end up with some probation. Rams player Leonard Little hit and killed a lady- he was drunk and got 4 years probation. After that he got another dwi and got 2 more years probation. The legal system is different for celebrities.
