Drunk Driver Rams Utility Worker With Pickup: Video

POULSBO, WA - A utility worker was attacked by a drunk driver in a pickup truck Wednesday morning near Poulsbo. Washington State Patrol released a short video of the strange attack, which ended in two men arrested for drunk driving.

According to police, an Elm Utility employee was in the driveway of a home along the 1200 block of SR 308, just west of Keyport. That's when a 60-year-old man drove up and began ramming his Nissan Titan pickup into the utility worker's Kia Soul. The attack went on until the Kia was pushed off the road into a ditch.

After the utility worker got out of his car, the 60-year-old proceeded to follow and make threats. When state troopers showed up, the attacker got back in his truck and drove to a nearby home. Troopers later arrested him there for DUI, hit and run, and failure to obey police.

But the incident wasn't over. After arresting the 60-year-old, a man driving a red Dodge Dakota came down the road. He told police he wanted to help the utility worker get the Kia out of the ditch, but had clearly been drinking. He was arrested on a DUI charge.
