Dramatic suicide:

The dramatic public suicide happened after a man led police on a police chase from the Premier Motel on Central and Solano to the median on San Mateo, just north of Central.

...After police came to the scene, the man got in a blue car and sped away from them. Police said he pointed a gun to his head while he was driving.

"They pulled their guns on him and told him to stop and get out of the vehicle. He wouldn't stop," one woman said who did not want to be identified.

..."Spun him around (with their cars) and that's how he ended up on the median. And everyone started running over to see what was going on and I just heard a pop and I turned around and his windshield was shattered," she said.

Dramatic sex:

A drunken driver was having sex when he lost control of his car Monday night and crashed the vehicle, ejecting his naked female companion onto a New Mexico roadway, police report.

According to cops, Luis Briones, 25, ran a red light and slammed his Ford Explorer into another car on an Albuquerque street. The impact of the collision forced Natasha Carroll, 21, from Briones’s SUV.

With a bloodied Carroll lying in the road, Briones got back into his vehicle and attempted to flee the accident scene, witnesses told Albuquerque Police Department officers. After one witness confiscated his keys, Briones “then jumped into a bush, landing and attempting to hide in a cactus.”

When cops subsequently took Briones into custody, he was wearing one shoe and “had a pair of black shorts inside out.” A half-empty bottle of vodka was found inside Briones’s vehicle.

...Investigators concluded that Briones and Carroll--who was “completely naked”--were “having sexual intercourse of some sort while driving.” A criminal complaint also notes that cops received a 911 call before the accident reporting that Briones “was observed to be having sexual intercourse with the passenger” while driving at “a high rate of speed.”

Carroll suffered facial lacerations in the crash and was transported to an area hospital, where she was reported to be in stable condition.

The plastered Briones, cops reported, reeked of booze and was extremely belligerent post-arrest. He allegedly spit on officers, threatened them, and “refused to keep his pants on.”
