A Washington man is in custody after he allegedly had sex with a female passenger while drunk behind the wheel, plowing his car into a tree.
Washington State Patrol spokeswoman Brooke Bova told the News Tribune that highway patrol officers arrived at the scene shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday on Mountain Highway near La Grande to find the couple fully naked with a three-month-old in the back seat.
Bova said the woman is in the hospital recovering from broken bones, but her child was unharmed.
Authorities arrested Michael G. Tonkin and charged him with felony driving under the influence (DUI), vehicular assault, and child endangerment, according to the Daily Mail.
Tonkin, who has a history of three DUI convictions, is being held in the Pierce County Jail.
Witnesses told state troopers who responded to the crash that both the woman and Tonkin exited the vehicle while naked.
Driving drunk and having intercourse behind the wheel can have serious, if not, fatal consequences. A Florida man convicted of DUI got sentenced to five years in prison after he drove drunk and had sex with his wife behind the wheel, causing a fatal crash that killed his wife.
