Stolen Booze Truck Crashes in Birmingham

0:00On March 29th, a stolen lorry packed with booze flipped on its side yesterday afternoon in Birmingham's Dutestin area. West Midlands Police naved the driver after the crash at the junction of Little Hall Road and Great Francis Street. The 51-year-old behind the wheel was hauling dangerously through traffic and blew right past officers trying to stop him. Cops believed both the truck and that big load of alcohol got jacked earlier. No word on other injuries, but the driver ended up in hospital with some bumps from the wreck. Folks nearby dodged the bullet as the rig blocked the road junction. He's out of medical care now and locked up on charges like stealing the vehicle, swiping the cargo, reckless driving and dodging the pullover. Police are grilling him as they piece together the theft timeline, so expect more details soon on this chaotic caper.
