Drunk Florida Woman Drives Through Daytona Bike Week Campgrounds, Hits Four People
Drunk Florida Woman Drives Through Daytona Bike Week Campgrounds, Hits Four People-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:12

Fans at Daytona International Speedway’s Bike Week had a rude awakening this weekend when a black Toyota pickup ran into four people and six motor homes in the infield campground. The reports that the accused driver admitted to drinking before getting behind the wheel.

Per the Sentinel, 43-year-old Cocoa Beach, Fla., resident Abbie Kinney told an officer at Daytona that she “shouldn’t have been driving,” as she had drunk three beers before getting behind the wheel of the Toyota around 2 a.m. early Saturday morning. Police told the Sentinel that she blew a .179 on a breathalyzer test, and then a .170 on a do-over—over twice the legal limit for driving in Florida on both attempts.

Fortunately, the worst injury reported by was a broken leg. One of the four people hit by the truck was AJ Maddox, who was enjoying the late-night Daytona campground festivities with some friends when Kinney’s truck came barreling through their campsite. Maddox told Fox 35:

I got lucky. I really did. I don’t know how I’m standing here right now. If I had been standing a foot to the left or the right, who knows.

Maddox explained that he had to duck underneath an RV to escape, and that he feels fortunate that he only has a sore back.

Fox 35 reports that Kinney faces several charges including driving under the influence following the crash.

Daytona Bike Week festivities continue throughout the week, with everything from bike shows to supercross. Most importantly, if you feel as if you shouldn’t be behind the wheel or handlebars of a vehicle, take advantage of those on-site campgrounds and find a safe place to sleep it off there.

Anyone who travels for work between the big cities of the Northeast is probably familiar with the interior of Amtrak’s Acela “high speed service.” Soon, it’ll be new. Well, it’ll be very similar but with some cool new features. Amtrak’s Acela, which is a nominally “high speed train” service...

Fleet of Autonomous Boats Can Now Shapeshift, Which Is Nice, For Science
In news that certainly doesn’t spell our doom, MIT’s fleet of autonomous boats can now break apart and reform into new configurations on their own. Great. My first problem with this marvelous innovation is that MIT and its partner, the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, calls the autonomous...

The Honda Africa Twin Helped Me Conquer My Fear Of Tall Bikes
I love . Honestly, it’s mostly because they just look so damn cool! They’re modular, look like they can go from like Tierra del Fuego to Nova Scotia, and are usually quick as hell. But for a medium-sized boy like myself, they are often intimidatingly tall. I’ve been riding...

I’ve never been to Rod Millen’s Leadfoot Festival, but every time a new video from the event is unleashed upon the world, and I am introduced to a new incredibly crazy hillclimb machine from the antipodes, my desire to attend this event grows exponentially. This super fast “BRM Quadzilla” started...

There comes a sense of pride unlike any other when you manage to build . This “motorcycle” started as a pile of scrap steel, some bearings, an industrial engine, a set of car wheels, and a bike seat. Using some craftiness and ingenuity, this Doctor DS guy managed to...
