(Michigan City, IN) - There’s nothing scarier, perhaps, than a drunk driver behind the wheel of a badly weaving dump truck.

 

That’s what Michigan City Police described as happening last night before a crash.

 

About 10 p.m., police were alerted by a motorist with a cell phone about an eastbound dump truck pulling a trailer swerving from lane to lane at various speeds on E. Michigan Boulevard.

 

A short time later, the dump truck wound up in a ditch at E. Michigan Boulevard and Johnson Road.

 

When officers arrived, police said Dan Carabine, Jr., 62, was trying to drive out of the ditch but his fast spinning tires were not gaining any traction.

 

The Michigan City man was arrested with an alleged blood alcohol level over two times the legal limit.
