This pinhead is an embarassment to the Hummer ownership.

As a preface - In Arizona, we have something called a "stupid motorist" law. If you bypass marked "street flooded" signs, and you need rescuing when you go into a flooded street or wash, you pay for your rescue as well as vehicle recovery.

Pictures are available on the website shown below.

(CBS 5)-Seven people were rescued by helicopter when their Hummer was partially submerged in a flooded wash near Cave Creek Friday evening.

The water, estimated to be two or three feet deep, trapped the individuals inside the vehicle until the sheriff's helicopter rescue team could retrieve each of them, one by one, from the roof of the vehicle.

The effort used in the rescue is known as a one-skid operation. The helicopter goes in low, puts a skid by the pickup truck, and the person climbs aboard the helicopter.

The automobile was reportedly swept about 100 yards down the wash, and will remain there until the water lowers.

****ing idiot. He should have his balls cut off so that he can't breed any more.
We have morons here in Vegas that continue to ignore warnings & each and every time there is lots of news coverage, lots of folks instructing or tying to instruct the public of what a simple road way sign means (Flooded Road) = don't cross. I am completely convinced that they stopped teaching common sense years ago. More and more people continue to confirm that we seriously need to thin out the gene pool.
