Unser Jr. charged with DUI after crash - Jan 26, 2007
        
   
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr. was
charged with driving under the influence after leaving the scene of a
freeway crash.

He was arrested after he was identified as the driver of a car that
sideswiped another on the Las Vegas Beltway on Thursday, Nevada Highway
Patrol Trooper Kevin Honea said.

Unser's vehicle had little damage, but the other car crashed into a
cement center median. The driver reported no injuries at the scene, Honea
said Friday.

Honea said Unser failed several field sobriety tests before being taken
into custody. The 44-year-old Unser was charged with driving under the
influence, misdemeanor hit and run, failure to render aid in an accident
and failure to report an accident.

Andrew Leavitt, a lawyer representing Unser, did not immediately respond
to a message Friday.

Unser is the son of Indianapolis 500 racing great Al Unser and nephew of
three-time Indy winner Bobby Unser. He won the Indy 500 in 1992 and 1994,
two CART points titles and two IROC championships. In his only career
NASCAR start, Unser had 36th-place result in the 1993 Daytona 500.

Unser has had bouts with alcohol abuse and depression. He underwent
treatment for alcohol abuse in 2002 after his girlfriend said he hit her
in the face while drunk in Indianapolis. Prosecutors did not file
charges.

If convicted, i hope they lock this psycho up forever. All drunk drivers
are killers and they never change. Interesting he was also charged with
failure to render aid. Is that a crime?
