Well how about this topic.. celebrity bike builder gets drunk crosses double yellow kills guy on moped.


Billy Lane could be facing homicide charges
of blood alcohol levels taken at the scene show that Lane was over the state's .08 limit, Trooper Kim Miller, spokesman for the highway patrol said the state could pursue DUI manslaughter charges and/or vehicular homicide charges, along with other lesser-offense traffic citations.

Advertisement "He did pass on the double yellow line so he is definitely at fault in the crash," Miller said. She added that the state must wait to file any charges until they have all the evidence in the case in order to avoid double jeopardy.

While Miller said it could take six to eight weeks to get the blood alcohol levels back from the lab, the state has asked for a rush order on the results. However, Miller said in Florida officers don't automatically take blood alcohol levels after a fatal crash, and they have to have probable cause in order to conduct the test.

"We do believe he was impaired," Miller said.

The accident occurred at approximately 9 p.m., Monday, Sept. 4, south of Melbourne Beach where Lane resides. According to police reports, Lane was attempting to pass two vehicles on a double-lane section of road when his 2006 Dodge pickup hit a 1983 Yamaha moped head-on. The crash killed 56-year old Gerald Morelock, who was driving the moped. Erin Derrick, 22, who was riding with Lane, suffered serious injuries but was treated and released at the local hospital. Lane was also treated for minor injuries and released.

Lane, who owns Choppers Inc. in Melbourne, Fla., has become well known through appearances on the Discovery Channel's "Biker Buildoff" and "Monster Garage." Lane is also known locally for his efforts to raise money for the Children's Care Rehab and Development Center in Rapid City during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Yeah, I heard about that last week. What a @#$%'n moron. If he was drunk, he's going to jail. No matter what, he's pretty much done. He's going to be sued (and rightly so) big time, and he can kiss all that tv cash and his business good bye.
