Dear Editor:
Further to your story about the intoxicated driver who walked away from a crash that closed the highway near Cypress Bowl on June 29: I was in the other car that got "damaged" in that incident, going the opposite way on the highway.
The SUV flipped onto its roof and sent a large piece of brake rotor into the front of my car, a rare 2006 Lotus Elise. My car is now being assessed, and may be a write off.
If the brake rotor, weighing about eight pounds, had hit my car just a little bit higher, I would be dead for sure.
I'm disgusted by the driver's carelessness, and I hope he gets his licence revoked permanently.
