Errol Spence Jr. charged with DWI

[Ruthless-RKO]

Unified welterweight world titleholder Errol Spence Jr. was intoxicated when he crashed his Ferrari at a high rate of speed in a one-car accident last Thursday, according to Dallas police.

Spence, who was originally in intensive care but now is out of the hospital, has been charged with driving while intoxicated, a class B misdemeanor, a Dallas police spokesman said Wednesday evening. The Athletic first reported the DWI charge against Spence.

Spence, of the Dallas suburb DeSoto, was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the car, which eventually flipped over several times at around 3 a.m. CT. The car veered left over the center median into the southbound lanes before flipping and ejecting Spence.

"Mr. Spence has been released from the hospital and will need to address those charges," the Dallas police spokesman said. "As for getting a speed of the vehicle, we will not be getting one. It was a single-car accident with no other criminal charges. Therefore, no reason to get a warrant to pull the [black box] of the vehicle."

Spence did not suffer any broken bones or fractures but did suffer facial lacerations and broken teeth.

It is not clear how long Spence will be sidelined following the accident or what punishment he might face if convicted of the DWI charge.

Why so bitter?

We all make mistakes. He's young, and on top of the world. Hopefully he's able to fully recover physically, and has learned his lesson from this.

Don't drink and drive Errol. It ain't smart even when you ain't got nearly as much to lose.

If nothing else, this has surely taught him that he ain't invincible. Sometimes reality needs to hit a young man before he gets that.

It's weird aswell because Spence has always seemed like the goody two shoes, super dedicated to his craft type unlike say Hatton back in the day who whilst worked hard in camp, was known for being shit faced out of it.

[kbackup408]

I had a lot of sympathy for Spence purely out of humanity but the twit was on the slash and driving at that speed

[Cent0089]

Errol Spence ... DWI, high speed crash, big luck no others were injured or killed. He survived, will probably fully recover. Adonis Stevenson - former pimp, recovered pretty well. Meanwhile, Patrick Day and Maxim Dadashev are dead. No judging from me, just saying

[Onetimeonly]

Having met him, I think he'll learn a lesson.

Don't be so sure. Maybe he is feeling empowered...
"“No broken bones. I’m a savage!” said Spence on his Instagram account on Wednesday."

Apparently someone made him realize his idiocy, as the post was deleted, but there are no backsies on the internet.

Here's a site of US auto "accidents" showing approx 40% of fatalities caused by "drunk driving" and 60% caused by speeding or reckless driving.

https://www.driverknowledge.com/car-acc ... tatistics/

Keep in mind in Texas, a driver who gets teeboned by a reckless speeder running a red light would fall into the dd category if a crushed empty, completely dry beer can from a friend he gave a ride to years ago is found under his seat.

In spite of doing no wrong, the new drunk driving industry will bleed him a minimum of $15k while the reckless speeder may skip a ticket because he's on prescription sedatives.

Facts are clearly there is a strong element of drivers drunk or not that should not be driving, but they passed the driving test not designed to weed out personal driving judgement.

My pop was in sales in the macho oil and gas industry where men were judged on whether they could hold their liquor that he did every 50k miles every 2 yrs in his company car in a high traffick town of Houston. He got a new one to repeat for decades with nary a fender bender. My bro was the same way.

I'm not the big drinker they are, but I liked my beer when I drive and no problems no matter how many, but obvious I never got pass out drunk like Spence seems to have been.

I personally don't care to be around careless drunks, thus all my friends were responsible citizens imbibing a legal substance produced since the beginning of civilization, so true drunks like Spence should be accountable. What I don't accept is the current construct of laxity for the rest of the deplorable drivers growing up playing crash dummy video games that have left my once peaceful neighbor hood streets littered with single car accidents, property damage and even fatalities with no end in sight.

An empty beer can rattling underneath the seat ain't the problem.

- Sorry to hear about your lower order drunken lout disorder, jonnyy. Could you possibly sue your parents to collect from their insurance.

This probably beyond your capabilities, but my father and later my brother helped in the design specifications and the outfitting of the massive oil and gas refineries all over the country. They also outfitted the drillers and pipelines needed to get from point A to B.



Moreover, when NASA moved into the space shuttle program, they commissioned their company to provide them with the one off high performance pipes, valves, and fittings needed to reliably endure the extreme pressures involved.



Now, if suing your parents don't work, get them to at least give you a bib and make you a sandwich and apologize.

[jonnyyorkshu]

From sales to design wow.
Well my dad flew that spaceship in his underpants
