From the City of Madison Fire Department:

City of Madison firefighters and paramedics responded to a rollover car crash this morning at 7202 Watts Road. When Engine 7 arrived, they found a car resting on its side with the driver partially pinned underneath it.

Firefighters quickly stabilized the car to prevent any movement while they removed the car from around the driver. First, the windshield was cut out of the car and then the car's roof was removed. With the windshield and roof out of the way, the driver was carefully moved onto a backboard to protect his spine from any movement. He was then taken to University of Wisconsin Hospital by paramedics.

Rescue crews were dispatched to the crash at 2:46 a.m. and arrived six minutes later. It took firefighters less than ten minutes to remove the windshield and roof so they could safely move the driver and treat his injuries.

Gina, a lot of people have never driven drunk. Just because that's the norm for you and your friends/family, you need to entertain the idea that others might make different and better decisions.

You guys have nothing else better to do with your lives but talk smack about someone you don’t even know. You act like you have never drove drunk. Grow up guys and understand that this could happen to anyone. Everyone makes mistakes and this guy was really hurt. Let’s see when it happens to you if you would like people saying you deserve it.
