I guess is you are totally shitfaced, driving without a seat belt and talking on a cell phone, and then happen to crash into a tow truck; some how, this is every one else’s fault.
The father of Josh Hancock filed suit Thursday, claiming a restaurant provided drinks to the St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher even though he was intoxicated prior to the crash that killed him.
The suit, filed in St. Louis Circuit Court by Dean Hancock of Tupelo, Miss., does not specify damages. Mike Shannon’s Restaurant, owned by the longtime Cardinals broadcaster who starred on three World Series teams in the 1960s, is a defendant in the case along with Shannon’s daughter, Patricia Shannon Van Matre, the restaurant manager.
So, the restaurant is at fault for serving him what he asked for.
Other defendants include Eddie’s Towing, the company whose flatbed tow truck was struck by Hancock’s sport utility vehicle in the early hours of April 29; tow truck driver Jacob Edward Hargrove; and Justin Tolar, the driver whose stalled car on Interstate 64 was being assisted by Hargrove.
Eddie’s towing company is being sued for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Justin Tolar, who’s car happen to break down on the highway is somehow also at fault. What the fuck did he do?
The only one at fault here is the idiot baseball pitcher that obviously had an alcohol problem. I am glad it was just him and not a family on a weekend trip.
If I was one of the defendants, I would counter sue for stupidity.
Careful… he might sue YOU for calling his pitcher son a picture.
He should also sue himself… for passing on the stupidity gene.
He should sue to get alcohol banned.
