Melbourne - Robert Tripplet, (supposedly age 31 but looks close to 50) is what some might call "a terrible driver."

Others might think he's just a drunk. Brevard County will be calling him "former Park Ranger Tripplet" after his arrest following the incredible crash of his Park Ranger pickup.

This douchebag fled the scene, all bloodied up, and when the cops found him at a female friend's home, he smelled of alcohol. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to put 2 & 2 together.

What is really interesting here is that he was actually arrested for unrelated crash where he fled the scene about week prior to this incident Monday morning.

I'm not sure if he thought no one would notice this. Look at the wreckage:

Sneezing attack caused incredible semi-truck crash

Imagine this: It's 4:30 a.m. You're driving along I-95, when all of a sudden you witness an incredible scene unfolding.

A loaded semi whips around and jackknifed seemingly unprovoked, and it's just total chaos. Cars are diving out of the way, the truck is upside down, people are worried.

Brave onlookers rush to help the driver of the truck, as they feared the worse. Upon getting the cab of the rig, they find the driver unharmed.

When he's questioned by the FHP officer investigating this huge crash, the driver, 43-year-old Joseph Williams stated he had a "sneezing attack."

We're pretty sure the officer was either laughing hysterically, or prepared to use his baton on Williams. It's hard for anyone to believe a trained OTR driver could not control a sudden sneezing fit or pull over until it ended.

His story seems a little ridiculous for the outcome of this accident. FHP spokeswoman Kim Monets said that charges are pending against the driver.

Man in critical condition after playing human "Frogger" on busy road

It's never a good thing to mix a lack of common sense, transportation, and a Wal-Mart. A Brevard County man decided to play a game of Human Frogger and attempted to cross Eastbound 405, once of the county's busiest roads.

Turns out that decision nearly cost him his life.

He was creamed by a driver who had no time to react to the man's last ditch effort at jay-walking across the 405. Because this is an accident, the driver will not face charges.

Which is great because we're sure his car is trashed and he'll have to live with the image of smashing to a pedestrian who should have known better than to cross the road where he did - no where near a crosswalk.

The man is now in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
