Cart crash leads to DUI charge

Fri, 03/27/2009 - 3:37pm

By: The Citizen

A Peachtree City woman was cited for driving under the influence after her golf cart crashed into a stone wall at the tunnel under Peachtree Parkway at the Braelinn ponds area Sunday afternoon, police said.

Cynthia M. Maginniss was initially taken from the scene by a good Samaritan who wanted to help get her home, police said.

A witness who saw the wreck told police a female driver crashed her cart and appeared to be bleeding badly before leaving the scene, police said.

Maginniss was later found at a residence on Planceer Place when the fire department was dispatched there to treat a person with injuries from a wreck, police said.

The crash occurred Sunday after 3:15 p.m., police said.

This may be the dumbest thing

I've seen on here in a while.

Who was the victim here? Who was hurt? Was any private/city property damaged?

I'm thinking the City is strictly in this for the fines that can be generated.

Usually I am the first

Usually I am the first person to bash the police for being to uptight. But this lady crashed a golf cart into a wall. Thats pretty drunk.

I've seen plenty of sober people hit things..

Should they be arrested too? IF she caused any damage to property, she should fix it. I still say the City is reaching here....for $$$$$

If you are driving around on

If you are driving around on your golf cart at 3:00 in the afternoon so drunk that you run into a solid wall you deserve your DUI. On the other hand, I would much rather see people drive their golf carts home from the bars late at night instead of their cars. I peronally think that their should be a separate charge for golf cart DUIs.

"Should they be arrested to?"...Use common sense. The golf cart paths are full of people at 3 in the afternoon on a Sunday. If this person was drunk enough to hit a wall, then she was drunk enough to hit a kid. This wasn't a two beers at lunch situation. This lady was wasted.

It had to be 5 O'Clock Somewhere

I glad this lady didn't hurt or kill anyone. How big is that wall? How drunk would you have to be to hit a wall? The crazy stuff people do to help the cops meet their quotas.
