    "CINCINNATI, Ohio - A motorcyclist is facing charges after authorities say he drove drunk and hit a parked highway patrol car.

    The accident happened just after 2:30 Wednesday morning along northbound Interstate 75 in Sharonville.

    According to officials, 30-year-old Nathaniel Griffith Jr., of Cincinnati, was driving a 2006 Honda Interceptor motorcycle on the northbound ramp to I-75 from Sharon Road when he veered into a construction zone.

    Officials say the construction zone was clearly marked by multiple safety cones and yield signs.

    According to authorities, Griffith then ran into the parked patrol car of Trooper Christina Hayes. Hayes, 27, was reportedly working an off-duty detail and was assigned to assist and protect construction workers. She was not injured in the crash.

    Rescue crews transported Griffith to Bethesda North Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Police then charged him with OVI and failure to maintain an assured clear distance ahead.

    The crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol."

    What strikes me the most is this teeny little detail here: "Schaefer, who has six prior DUI-related convictions..."

    Why did that man have a vehicle? ....let alone a license??!?!?!?!?!?

    Sometimes...I wish our justice system was like Singapore's...but only sometimes...

    Drinking and riding is a problem? Who'd a thunk it! What an incredible loser.

    I could always use more rotors. I'll keep checking the for sale section.

    If it wasn't for that stupid "Interceptor" sticker on the rear cowl, they would have never known. It would have been generalized as a "Honda". Tsk, tsk :biggrin:

    What a shame.... to lose a VFR so early in its life that is. I'm glad the officer and the confused individual riding the VFR are okay. Hopefully he will bear witness to others who do stupid things like this...

    I'm surprised they listed the model. I rarely see info about the bike manufacturer if even that. Maybe the journalist was trying to emphasize that it was a sport bike hooligan.:mad:

    Maybe he was just SERIOUSLY impressed with the patrol officer's hotness (this wasn't Mario trying to talk to his HOT cop at the gym was it?). This happened not too far from me... well ok, about a hundred miles away... but the same state...

    Glad officer is ok, need to throw the book at the guy on the bike.
