Man Blames Wreck on Unicorn's Bad Driving
A man in Montana had a perfectly good explanation for wrecking his truck. The man drove through a red light. He made a U-turn, and then smashed into a light post. Police immediately suspected him of driving drunk. However, the suspect claimed the crash had nothing to do with drinking. Even if he had been drinking, he said he wasn't at the wheel. He told police they should blame the crash on the unicorn that was driving him around.
