Police Report: Driver Passes Out at Full Speed But Going Nowhere

At 11:29 a.m. Sunday, a 25-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for operating a vehicle while under the influence after police were called on a report of one car ramming another in the parking lot of , 3201 N. Mayfair Rd.

When an officer arrived, he saw an Oldsmobile Bravada pressed against the bumper of a Dodge Intrepid, its rear wheels spinning at maximum speed. The rear tires had blown out and were worn down to the rims, which were digging into the asphalt.

The officer waited 10 to 20 seconds and the wheels stopped spinning. When he approached the car, he found the driver slumped over into the passenger seat, where he had vomited and appeared to be having a seizure. The officer called the Fire Department, and paramedics rushed the man to Froedtert Hospital.

When officers interviewed him there a short time later, he had recovered and admitted he had smoked three hits of “K2” synthetic marijuana while driving and couldn’t remember anything after turning into the Kmart and looking for a parking place until he woke up in the ambulance.

He told police the drug's effects had "come on pretty quick" and that it was "some crazy stuff."
