Scott and Sadie“The wheels came off” can mean you failed spectacularly at something . . . or it can be more literal.
A drunk driver in Connecticut was so hammered on Saturday, he didn’t realize he was missing a tire.
Someone near Greenwich, Connecticut called the cops around 11:00 P.M. They said a car on I-95 was driving on three wheels and “all over the road.”
The driver was 28-year-old Hector Estrella. Cops caught up to him and confirmed the missing tire. They said his car was emitting, quote, “large plumes of smoke while in motion.”
He was only going 30, but swerving all over the place. He sped up to 70 when they turned their lights on, but two cop cars boxed him in and got him to stop.
He reeked of booze and his eyes were bloodshot. He eventually admitted he’d been drinking and smoking weed. And despite all the smoke, they said he was “unaware” he’d been “driving on a rim.”
He’s facing a DUI charge, plus additional charges for reckless driving . . . disobeying an officer . . . failure to maintain a lane . . . and operating a motor vehicle with unsafe tires.

(They released his mugshot and didn’t mention this . . . but is that puke on his shirt? If not, he ate a whole lot of Cheetos and didn’t have a napkin.)
