Story out of Gallup, New Mexico:

An alleged drunken driver in New Mexico is accused of driving through a highway barricade and crashing into a medical helicopter over the weekend.

The chopper and two fire trucks were parked in the highway in Gallup early Sunday morning to rescue the victim of a one-vehicle accident, local ABC station KOAT reported.

Glenn Livingston, 26, allegedly drove through the barricade set up at the scene and hit both the chopper and a fire truck, per CBS station KRQE.

The victim of the initial accident was taken to an area hospital and is expected to recover, KOAT reported. No one else was injured in the crashes.

“You’ve got to be pretty drunk,” tow truck driver Frank Hernandez, who was at the scene, told KOB. “I’ve seen them where they’ve taken vehicles off the road and they don’t know they did that, or not.”

The Associated Press reported that Livingston was booked on a variety of charges, including aggravated DWI and resisting arrest. Cont.
