The hospital should have no problem in confirming if he was intoxicated ...!!

Motorbike hits taxi in headline, taxi hits motorbike in text... They collided. He was struck by the taxi, not the bike... Weird. (He was hit by the taxi, the bike wasn't hit by the taxi)

He was on the bike so the bike was hit by the taxi.   Why dispute what was reported when you didn't witness it?

You just can't help stupid people in this world
