DUI: What Was He Thinking?

Of all the cars to run into while driving under the influence of alcohol; a patrol car? According to an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, Jose Navarro Solis rammed into a parked patrol car while DUI. The officer was not actually in the patrol car when it was hit, but received "minor injuries" when the patrol car was jolted forward into the officer after the impact.

Some people seem to make their own bad luck.
