as a postscript....I only found out about the drunk driving recently.
It would seem this was some massive open secret amongst my extended family, and the police never knew as he was so close to death, no bloods were ever taken for offical analysis. He was never charged. I was told he had hit black ice, which was seasonally plausible.
He also claims he survived because he wasnt wearing a seatbelt, as he was squeezed out of his seat just as the car was crushed between the lorry, the crash barrier and a massive bridge abutment, although he has always worn it since. He did break every bone down one side with the exception of his spine, and is paying for it now as old age and injury mean he can hardly walk.
